said by wookieepuss:Well, of course, because I'd worried about having to start dancing on the counter to get a D3 modem, the exchange process today took no effort other than telling the rep I wanted something more up to date than what I had and that we'd have multiple calls for dropouts. In and out of the Optimum Store in 90 seconds, no lie.

Speed is good, time will tell on the dropouts.
Let me save you the time waiting. Your SB5100 showed repeated (but not every day) T3 errors - in 90% of cases those are upstream disruptions - if they last more than ~35s, your modem will lose registration from the CMTS and has to reinitialize. Your D3 modem is not less and not more resilient in dealing with these disruptions than your D2, there's an RF signal problem at your location, that must be solved for the "dropouts" to stop.
