That's a question for your ISP.

By the way, a DSL connection is not "always on." It is 'always available,'
but if you don't use it for a certain amount of time your connection to the
Internet is cut. You are reconnected to the Internet on demand - because DSL
is always available - and this happens almost instantaneously. A cable
connection, OTOH, is always connected to the Internet.
