they are not planning on replacing all the wiring inside your home. What they are planning on doing is running a fiber line to the side of your house, called a "drop", similar to what you already have except it is coaxial cable.
The advantage is much higher bandwidth which gives you faster internet because you are no longer "sharing" bandwidth with other cable users. Plus it opens up bandwidth for a ton more HD channels.
The disadvantages to this would be they may either make you pay for the drop (which I doubt), or increase service rates. Either way, it is expensive to the provider and they would have to make it up somewhere.

If you have 256mb on a computer and replace it with 2g because that is the total capacity will you lose your information?
Presumably you are talking about replacing (upgrading) system RAM, as its been a long time since 256mb or 2 gb hard drives were common. That being said, replacing the RAM in your computer will have no effect on the data stored on your computer. Long-term storage of user data is done with the hard disk. System RAM is temporary storage only, and is wiped every time the computer is powered down.
