[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 347762, member: 175235"] Do you know why your ISP is doing this? Just worried that they are billing you for time you are online (in a sort of pay as you go way, as some here are doing now) and this is a way of recording how much you are online. Otherwise it makes little sense, they are freeing up capacity at the exchange I suppose, so if they are running their own equipment it could be they don't want everyone connected 24/7 taking up capacity. And is it PPPoE or PPPoA they close after inactivity? Closing PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) doesn't really make sense if you are on ADSL where the connection to them would be PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (eg ADSL)) [/QUOTE]
