What kind of internet do you have?

SBC
I find that I have to power cycle every fvcking 3 - 4 days. Whoever's idea it was to get SBC DSL should be shot (my roommate).

I use Comcast at home and I NEVER power cycle. Maybe once every 3 months or something.

I have SBC also, and I think I've powercycled it 2 or 3 times in the last 2 years. If that.

Very rarely. And I have Cable One. Once or twice in the past 2 years. (Not counting when I was replacing / adding equipment, etc).

Cox cable. I don't really have to. I do everyonce in awhile though just because. I cycle my modem, router, and Vonage IP phones all at the same time probably once a month.

Once evey several months just in case they have updated the firmware to make things faster :) I remember going from 3mb to 5mb one day when I had a power outage.
