I'd sub the ISP router for a £120 topton box with vyos on it, just because it can handle smart queues at line rate. It's really nice when you have exactly the same low ping and jitter regardless of other load on the network, with bandwidth splitting equally, and ISP routers just can't do that in my experience. It just works and requires zero fiddling.

TBH, haven't gone into anything deeper than a ping and jitter benchmarks, so not terribly in depth or long-term besides occasional tests out of curiosity. ATT fiber 300 up/down provides 4 ms consistent ping to google's closest's datacenter, sometimes at 3 ms, which is of course nuts. Might as well be in my apartment block. Perfectly happy with provided unit, although it's an older one. Tangential, but have used vyOS some years ago to create a makeshift 10G switch using commodity hardware and an old PC. Routed and switched amazingly fast - the demise was related to what I could guess were broadcast storms. I'm with you in spirit however. Want and will probably need to switch back to a more customizable router.
