i am havinf a 2 wire modem, and its ON all the time, i need to know does this cause a surge in energy cnsumption or is there any power saving features built into this modem?

are there any such modems that go into standby when u are not surfing the internet?

i dont want to switch on or off, cos i know sometimes other members of my family may use it. And it takes a long time to start up

FireIce SG

there is no energy-saving modem.

Tell the last person to use internet to switch it off before sleeping in the night and the first person who want to use the internet in the morning to on it themselves.

The startup is very quick.. like 2-3mins? just wait, its not like you are in a rush or something...

Including IP config lah. You switch on is near instant, but router still must connect back to ISP server what.

yes , the connecting part takes quite long sometime more than 3 mins.
