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.
