I think this is the first time I've ever seen that advice.

Traditionally, going directly from stable to unstable has always been
a "supported" path, insofar as unstable has any kind of support at all.
(All support for unstable is of course unofficial and provided on a
volunteer basis.)

That's fine too.  The jump from testing to unstable should be pretty
small.

Sounds more like a network glitch to me.  Either the mirror stopped
responding for some reason, or the ISP's routers decided to take a
restroom break, or the (wireless?) interface on the local Debian system
has decided to take up a career as a paperweight.

Reinstalling stable is not what I'd suggest here.  "Wait a minute and
try again" would be a good first step.

"See if you can reach other things on the Internet" would rule out some
of the possible reasons.
