Auto Connect/Reconnect Dial-up, Broadband, PPPoE when Disconnected

I use different internet connectivities for my network needs for example dial-up connection when I’m traveling, Broadband or PPPoE connection when I am home or Wifi where wifi network is available or using mobile hotspot. When connecting using dial-up or direct LAN cable (PPPoE) from Internet service provider (ISP), Network gets disconnected after few hours or within minutes, then again I have to reconnect or redial the network. It hurts most when I keep games on downloading and the internet gets disconnected during midnight. We have few software/programs which we can install and it will reconnect the internet as soon it disconnects. You can download reconnect from here if you don’t know how to schedule task on windows OS or don’t familiar with  basic windows functionality.
