I assumed it was to save money/lower cost (whichever
way you look at it.) by giving you less. This router
(from a new ISP) is a Broadxent 8120. It drops idle
connections after 10 minutes, and there's no way to
alter the behavior that I could find  -- I wrote to
Broadxent several days ago, but received no reply.
