You had me worried, so I checked.
Doesn't look like you checked. You seem to have assumed based on a past unrelated purchase.

This one has only been out around a year. 2.5GB Ethernet jack and newer, supposedly better, DOCIS chipset.

Long story short, their technicians were useless and couldn't figure it out. I had to troubleshoot it myself, and eventually swapped out the modem just to see. That was the problem. Returned it and bought a different brand, internet has been rock solid ever since.
Edit to add: Coincidentally, it looks like the modem I ended up switching to is also on sale:

The Arris S33 does have a dual Lan port (with the second being only 1gbps), but most consumer ISPs don't provide more than one static IP anyways.
If you only need the one static IP address (99.9% of customers), the main difference ends up being the style of the casing and its cooling/airflow design. And price, of course.
I read somewhere that Arris owns Motorola, so the probability of the chipset and hardware being the same is reasonably high.
