I keep my connection on all the time for days or even weeks on
end although I do reboot the computer every day. Might my
connection speed be improved if I ocassionally disconnect and
reconnect?
If you have a poor noise margin, you modem will negotiate down to find a |
more stable connection. It won't go the other way. If you can, query the
modem from time to time (or run a speed test) to see if this is
happening. If your connection speed degrades over time, restarting the
modem might bump it back up. |
