Most Internet Service Providers, especially low cost ones, will disconnect your connection if you have not done anything over the connection in 10 minutes. Some services will charge a little more but leave your connection running even if it is idle for an extended period of time. Make sure that you look up their Idle Time Disconnect policy before you sign up.
