I've been having problems with my router/modem lately and having called Virgins tech support I noticed that the recorded message tells you to switch off the router and wait for 2 minutes before switching it back on again. Even when you get through to an actual person they still insist that you wait a set period of time before switching back on.
Now, in my time on this earth, I've switched a lot of electrical items on and off, I'd say I'm quite proficient in it. However, I don't think I've ever encountered a problem that has been fixed by waiting an extended period of time after an item has clearly powered down before restoring power.
So what is this all about? Is it a load of bollocks?
