Oh here is my chance to complain about this pet peeve! My provider gives you a Fritzbox with you subscription, I called them a few times that they should use their mass-purchase leverage to demand better functionality but of course the poor support people couldn't make that happen even if they understood what I was getting at :) Fritzboxen are praised across the internet as great routers, but they won't even let you

- change the default host name suffix - assign static host names for internal use - see which device uses how much bandwidth (only the total - yeah great, now I have to hunt for which machine/mobile is uploading all those photos to dropbox) - block machines from the network, and/or throttle bandwidth. It looks like you can do it, but the implementation is useless - yes you can prioritize smtp over http, hurrah! Everything bandwidth-hungry in 2015 goes over http, and then it's all-or-nothing on fritzbox.

Nothing in particular against Fritzboxes, it's just there is plethora of good producers and devices and I like to have a choice. Fritzboxes are everywhere in Germany, by strange coincidence retailers expose them in the most visible spots, many ISPs promote them heavily by offering them for "free" or very cheap with their subscriptions. In the same time it's quite impossible to buy a plain VDSL modem and most VDSL capable routers cost well over EUR 100.
