If it's for a few days, I'd say yes it's worth it. As long as it's off now and then on when you get back I can't see any issues with drops in speed happening.
yes - also unplug all other unnecessary electrical equipment, including things which are normally on standby such as the television, for safety reasons. If I was going away for that long the only things which would be left on would be the freezer and the DVD recorder for all the programs SWMBO wants to watch. Even the fridge would be emptied and switched off

When we went on our holidays, I left the fridge freezer on, but gaffer taped the doors shut so that they wouldn't open, as had happened overnight a couple of times when I hadn't shut the door fully.
@laptop77 - Yes, I think it'd be worth it for any time away that's more than a couple of days really. @PlusComUK - handy tip, thanks May well be doing that myself next time my wife and I go away, better than losing a freezer full for sure.
