Horrible bufferbloat on a Fritzbox 7590 - good router for gaming? (alien.top)

Hey guys,

in the process of troubleshooting my strange problems in online multiplayer competetive gaming I stumbled upon buffer bloating and I did the test for myself and found out that my internet connection suffers from a high buffer bloat on the upload side:

I did some research and a lot of people report the same problems with the Fritzbox 7590 and thus I'm thinking about changing router as the fritzbox 7590 doesn't seem to fit the needs of competetive online gaming.

Is it reasonable to assume that this problem is connected to the router and that change to a router with a better SQM/prioritising would get rid of buffer bloating?

If so what router at a reasonable price would be a good choice?

Thanks a lot in advance!

The download looks amazing. The upload is where the issues are happening.

I had a vdsl line that looked like this and i had to qos it down to about 50% of the line speed to get a stable connection as the line itself was the issue.
