Default PC Modem (cable)

Is it better to leave a modem on 24/7 or only switch it on when booting ?
Are there any benefits either way ?
Or does it only save power by switching it off ?

This.

Makes no difference if it's on or off when you're not using it. The only thing you'll be doing is saving power.

Leave it on IMO , just makes it easier if your breezin past the pc and want to check something straight away instead of playing the `waiting game` for it to boot up
