The Speedchoice modem is also not quite capable of handling
ARP on aliased IP requests so things like:

eth0
eth0:0
eth0:1

will cause it to get confused in its ARP table and no longer
route to random aliased address.

I had to put mine on a timer that would shut it off
for 1 minute every 6 hours to keep my 4 IP addresses working.

I worked with their techs directly for 2 weeks and none of us
could figure out why it did that.

Trust me, we tried everything possible.
