There's EU-wide regulation[1] and local (Dutch) legislation stating that ISPs must allow people to use their own hardware. My ISP (KPN) complies pretty well.
Their website even has clear documentation (in Dutch) with all the configuration details in case you want to set up your own fibre-optics modem, and the details on the VLAN to use for internet and telephony over it[2].
I use the ISP-supplied fibre modem plugged into an OpenWrt router. The router itself does PPPoE via VLAN. I hope you can get your ISP to follow such an example.
