It's a Great suggestion! I always turn mine off that way i can take my tin foil hat off then.
Hopefully we won't be Taxed too Death then !!
Very happy for any academic research espousing a contrary position on climate change to go through peer review, etc.
But this hasn't always been their approach...

(This is specifically referring to Exxon, but you can guarantee it applies to all of them - science is universal.)
It's pretty terrifying really - they knew over 40 years ago that there was an impending risk to the climate from their industry, and chose to do worse than nothing - to actively suppress the evidence their own scientists had uncovered.
Note to climate change denialists: *these were scientists working for oil companies*.

Should the line be seen by the DLM as being unstable, like by switching off the router at night, DLM will intervene and increase the margin, forcing down the speed until the line is stable.
So the line speed can be made slower while switching the router off/on, hence the ISP 's advice to leave it switched on.
Admittedly this is not as likely with fibre connections, but not everyone has them yet.
Whether it's asbestos companies in the 40s/50s
Tobacco companies in the 50s/60s
Oil companies in the 60s/70s
Opioid manufacturers in the last decade
It's all about making profit now, and let someone else worry about - and pay for - the consequences later.
And don't get me started about the 5G manufacturers nowadays.

Hence the persistence of the 'don't turn it off' advice.
Be interesting to see if anything changes.
