Even when your computer is off, it is still partially on. This is so it can be remotely booted up via LAN (usually only applicable in a business setting, not a home one). The only way it can be completely off is if the mains plug is unplugged.

An always on connection such as ADSL, DSL, and T1 will always show some activity.

Why is my modem activity light constantly flashing RCN Forum FAQ

One of my "Quirks"
If I know I will be away from the PC for a while, working on the property, shopping etc. I'll leave the PC on, but just reach over and power down my DSL modem.

By the time I sit down my connection is re-established.

You're welcome.

The other reasons could include monitoring of your traffic to ensure that you don't go over the download limit for your current plan.
