Did they ever explain why? Did the SMC function as a router, and act as the
customer side of a stub network that allowed that /29 to hang off the
router? If that was the case, and the Motorola D3 modem was L2-only, that
might explain the change in capability.

My experience as a Comcast Business customer with a /29 IPv4 subnet was
that swapping out the SMC modem/router for an IPV6-capable Motorola
DOCSIS 3 modem meant that I could no longer have the /29.
