I guess from there I hook the modem up to a laptop via ethernet cable and set up as new device?

>> for making rate changes, I believe you need to call comcast to change the config file. Rate changes cannot be done via self-activation system. Please make sure CORRECT CONFIG FILE has been sent your device. You need to get the CSR agent to confirm this 3 times as they make lot of mistakes. It is for the package your are purchasing and not a low-end config file.
