That looks like good advice to me.
It doesn't remove the whole TCP/IP, and it doesn't remove an adapter.
It removes the un-needed TCP/IP protocol binding from the adapter that
connects to the broadband modem. That leaves the TCP/IP bindings for
other adapters in place, and it leaves the adapter and its PPPPOE
binding in place.
If you're concerned about it, use System Restore to make a restore
point before removing the binding. If something goes wrong (which I
doubt), you can then restore the system to its previous state.
