It is not recommended that the broadband modem be disconnected at any time. The one exception is when you powercycle (unplug, hold it out of electrical outlet for a minute) to reboot the modem. The modem is designed to stay on at all times, but you can turn your computer off, if you want.

If you subscribe to Broadband do you have to sign on and off everytime you use the internet or can you just stay connected at no extra cost?

I was looking at an RCA cable modem today that said it had a switch on the modem so you you could disconnect. I took it to mean that you didnt need a firewall IF you used the switch. It's all included with your monthly fee, doesn't matter how much you use it, make sure you get a firewall installed on your computer since you will be connected all the time, except when you turn your computer off. It depends on the broadband service you have. Some DSL companies issue a Name and Password, which you would have to log in and out of the service. for Cable modems, or cable access, it is 'constantly on', so there is no log in. I have a computer as a dedicated firewall, that is on 24/7, with no problems. Always On is one of the 'features' you are paying for with broadband!
