I don't know what their reasoning is but I imagine the Courier is used in a
lot of installations for 24 hours per day, where the Sportster is more an
end user modem, only used a few hours a day.  Apart from that, we had two
Couriers that dropped dead within 2 months, so maybe they have a higher
failure rate and they simply cannot guarantee them for more than two years.
 Besides, who buys a modem and keeps it for 5 years anyway :-)
