| 1157088 | 2010-11-28 03:48:00 | We are going on holiday, is it okay to pull the plug from the wall power supply, or will the modem of switch be okay? Thanks, Lurking. |

| 1157091 | 2010-11-28 20:13:00 | It's not a bad idea to unplug all things (except fridge and freezer!) from the mains when going away. Protects from power surges etc and certainly can't be harmful. | linw (53) | ||
| 1157092 | 2010-11-28 20:54:00 | At least switch off at wall - adapters (transformers) still use power even if modem is switched off. | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1157093 | 2010-11-28 21:03:00 | I never switch my modem off, but if you want to safe power it would be a good idea. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1157094 | 2010-11-28 22:07:00 | If you want to avoid the risk of it burning your house down while you're away then switch it off. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1157095 | 2010-11-29 01:53:00 | If you want to avoid the risk of it burning your house down while you're away then switch it off.That is a fair comment but wouldn't you have to switch off EVERYTHING electrical in your house, when you are away, say, even overnight, to avoid that happening.? | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1157096 | 2010-11-29 03:30:00 | The only thing on overnight is my clock and the fridge and freezer, just testing to see what we can get our daily usage down to, so far it's down to 13 units both power and water | gary67 (56) | ||
