Currently, I'm getting my broadband access through the TV cable, but
I have used ADSL and VDSL in the past. And I recall that the recommendation
was to always have them on. If you turn the modem off and on, it may
take about a minut until the connection is up. Check with the
documentation for your modem, and your DSL provider.

I don't think so. However, some providers require a login sequence
before you are on the air. I used to have such a provider (cable-TV
again), and I found a program that would to do this login automatically.
But since that was run from the Startup folder, login did not happen
until I had logged in myself.
