Will you turn off your internet connection after your computer turns off?

Yes i always turn off my internet modem when i shutdown my pc.I don't waste electricity.

Thanks for this great money saving tip. I had forgotten to turn off my modem last night. I'm sure that my modem still uses electricity even when my computer is not own.

Yes, thats what I do also..no point in keeping it on.

But of course! I see no reason to leave the internet connection (modem/router) on when my computer is already switched off. I only leave it on when I know there are other people in the house who are still using the wireless internet. Otherwise, I off them both together. Like you said, no reason at all to waste good energy that is not free on our pockets.

I often keep the internet connection on when I turn off the computer. Maybe I am a little bit lazy and I don't want to take some time to turn on the internet connection again when I intend to log onto the internet next time.

yes i always off both my computer and internet connection. specially if i wont really use it. it would be a waste of electricity and money at the same time.

Do you turn offf the power and everything or do you just shut it down? I usually just shut mines down. It will be nteresting to see what others say about it, I am going to read more of this. Good question. Have a good week ahead!

i disconnect the network connection at home. At office our PCs are connected with Lans. so I do not disconnect

i turn off everything when i am not using it. even the washing machine i unplugged it. the tv i unplugged it. i know that it is still consuming electricity when it is plugged. and there are some cases of fire because of electric appliances plugged that sparks and cost fire. i dont like to take the risk so i pull the plug if in not use

Of course, I will turn off the internet. I am scared of the spam thing that will stay in my computer if I will not turn off the computer. I had the idea that the virus will crawl LOL. Sorry little knowledge.

I wil do in the same way so we have the options we can disconnect then turn off but i prefer to turn off first then i can switch off it, that will be good right.

We can't turn our internet connection off here in our house because I and my husband uses a wireless internet connection. We have an antenna located outside the house and that gets the signal. I only turn the laptop off but not in a sleep mode. Anytime I need to chat with my husband at work, I do not need to turn on everything again. I guess this is not a waste of energy because I use the laptop from time to time and whenever I get awake at night. My baby wakes up every 5 hours so I use to check a chat from my husband who works at night.

I have internet connection at my place. I have a spike guard where everything is connected. So when I turn on my computer then everything is turned on including modem. So whenever I am switching my computer off I am also switching off my internet connection by switching off modem.

Yes ofcourse i will switch of my internet connection as well when i turn off my computer..but whole day my pc is on even my net i cannot prefer to struggle with connectivity everytime so i keep it on for whole day till i sleep at night as i need it everytime.

Likewise, every night before I go to bed I shut down my computer and turn off the internet once I have unplugged everything, I see no sense of leaving in on or on standby, besides it's not good to keep it running 24/7, it can easily overheat and waste electricity. It doesn't take long to turn it on again in the morning again.

I don't have internet connection now but when I had I alwasy turn off my internet connection when I don't have any work on internet....since I don't think that it make sense to kept modem on while you are not working on internet, I perfer to kept internet connection on when we are using wifi since we don't know when any other can access the internet....

i first turn off my computer and the internet gets disconnected itself, may i disconnect it or not, but mostly i turn off all the main switches also before i leave the table, yes we should save electricity...

yes i will always turn my internet connection after use . I am using dial up connection

hi youless i have wifi in my home and usually shut it down when ever i dont need it and shut down my laptop but there are times when i get lazy or forget to turn wi fi off or i sleep while still on laptop and dont turn it off. I should off it as i dont have a password ( couldnot set it) and anyone outside the home can use it too and also with so many cases of people sending mails using unprotected wifi and the owner ending up in jail, i think i should be careful.

Hi you! Like human beings even the machines like computers too have a capacity or longivity of life span. they too need rest and therefotre if you are our for about an hour better switch your computer off for I have seen many letting it on for hours together and the InterNet connected as well, Well for me when I am connected to Internet and about to off the computer first I disconnect the NEt and then switch off my machine.
