Nice little find that is, I have a Fritz!Box (modem / router) plugged in currently (long story) but ran the ping -f -l 1464 8.8.8.8 and MPU value seems to hold steady with your original maths (68)

I will plug in the Netgear XR500 early next week and try the ping -f -l 1464 8.8.8.8 cmd also to see if MPU value drops by 4

Hopefully somebody on a FTTP connection can help test the ping -f -l 1464 8.8.8.8 CMD for the full fibre connection in UK
