i just got a courtesy call from comcast saying that they've
doubled their speed to 256k... they said all i had to do is
turn everything off, and unplug the power to my modem and
cpu for 60 seconds. then i plug it back in, and voila!
256k... my question is: can this harm my cpu? should i do a
backup first? what the dilly yo?

lol
all they mean is shutdownyour computer
turn it off ,

unplug the power from the cable modem,

this will cause it to release the static MAC address on the
NIC, then wait a few minutes, turn it all back on, it will
renew information from proxy & servers, and you should have
your new upload speeds.
