Remove LAN interface

So I tried removing the spoofed Mac and turned the modem off for a few minutes. Second wan connection received an IP but the first did not.
Also, when I purchased my modem I had to give the MAC address to them. Since the modem only has one MAC I think that's where they are limited although I could be wrong.

The modem MAC address is used only for communication with or through the modem, not what's beyond.

Interesting. Do you know of any tips/tricks to keep the interface up instead of bouncing up and down?

@angdigi
Not really, as I've never experienced that problem. My service is rock solid.

Isn't this considered "flapping". Maybe it's something on the NIC that's causing the issue and not the ISP....

Take a switch.
Put it between the modem and pfSense.
Now, observe where the flapping happens.
On the flapping side, check port parameters - or just change the materiel and/or NIC if possible. -

Flapping is generally a term for when a mac address moves rapidly between different ports on a switch / switches.
