    I have just switched to a Comcast cable modem.

    I live in a lightning rich area (Sarasota, FL USA).
    In the "old days" of dial-up I was careful to always
    unplug my modem when I was not using it - especially
    in the summer months.

    What about cable modems? Should such precautions be
    taken?

    Thanks
    StephenW
