Please tell me that you are joking... I just can't imagine that any "tech" would say that a simple modem needs to be installed vertically. If it had wifi built in, then I can understand. But there are many wifi routers out there, Apple's Airport Extreme for example, are designed to be laid flat.
However, I have heard some other dumb ideas from other techs. So truthfully, I'm not surprised.

My uneducated guess is that one of the reasons modems are designed to stand upright is so that people don't bury them in a cabinet and close off all ventilation. By making the vertical you make it impossible to stack things on top of it.
