It should be clarified that 'modem mode' is VM speak for non-NAT, it's no longer doing NAT, firewalling, etc, but it's not a 'modem'.

Instead of the half-bridge you get from router mode where you see your first hop as VM and VM will see your Superhub's WAN side as your final hop it becomes a full bidirectional bridge between LAN and WAN sides of the Superhub.

Looks like in some cases this bridge causes issues. I guess I'm lucky in that it's one of the few things about my VM service that I can't fault since it was put into non-NAT mode for me as a trial in June.
