Anyone who wants a properly manageable router should buy one themselves and ISPs should not put any impediments in place to stop that happening.
Upvote for both, although I never found any restrictions (or I possibly worked around them without thinking, because those restrictions tend to be fairly futile to start with). I *always* use my own router and access point, because *I* control those, not the ISP. No FON crap, no firmware updates behind my back, no passwords that are accessible elsewhere, no possible backdoors or monitoring, a decent firewall and a guest network that is under my control too.
ISP access points tend to be rubbish anyway - in general, they seem to limit the number of devices that can use it concurrently and they only work on 2.4GHz, whereas the 5GHz band is far less likely to collide with neighbours.
