Do you have a device set up that does reliably work through the modem? If so, it might be worth trying to clone the MAC onto the RPi and see if connects then.

I think I did that in first instance in my /etc/config/network, is it not there?
config device 'wan_eth1_dev'
option name 'eth1'
option macaddr '78:8a:20:fb:8c:e7'
Is this the right place to put a mac address to be cloned?
I have the same setup as you, but my wan config is simply
config interface 'wan'
option proto 'dhcp'
option macaddr 'xxxx'
option ifname 'eth1'

Turn modem off and leave off. Log into your cable account from a different connection and erase / reset the MAC. I think in most cases leaving the modem off for 30 minutes will have the same effect at the cable company.

Okay, going to try with this approach, I will remove the config device again, as it not present in a clena config, which I tried, but this time I will add the option macaddr with my ER-X MAC address, let's see if this do the trick.
I cannot do it right now, but I plan to leave home in the arvo for an extended period of time, that will be my oppoturnity to test this. Thanks for the suggestions @krazeh and @mk24.
This made the trick!!! Up and running! Bloody finally! So, clearly you guys were right and it was the Arris locking the MAC address, I will let it rest this arvo for a while.
