It's a rebranded Huawei

Salt[1] in Switzerland has been offering 10Gbps FTTH for half a year. Maybe Bahnhof's router is better, but it's certainly not the first.

I have Bahnhof 100/100 at the moment. Effectivly (through wi-fi/AirPort) on a lucky day I get like 50% out of it on average.

This offer is 1000% increase in capacity for a 20% price increase and changing router? Seems too good to be true and stupid if not upgrading. But I suspect it’s only full capacity at like one place in Stockholm.

Bit strange that they choose to partner with Huawei. Doesnt feel Bahnhof especially after resent hardware stories. But I guess its a long process...

*edit: better phrasing

>so we assigned Huawei with producing a totally unique router for our superbroadband-service that we could place on the market.

no thank you

I have AT&T gigabit fiber, and two problems arise getting the theoretical 1000Mbps speeds.

First is the AT&T provided router performance is terrible, swap it out. I went with a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X. However unless you enable hardware offloading[1], the EdgeRouter maxes out at around 300Mbps. I can't speak to this new router, but typically devices that can truly push 10Gbit/s are very expensive and enterprise.

Second, and more of a problem in residential are WiFi limits. I have a Apple Time Capsule running AC on 5Ghz (80Mhz channel), and max out at 400Mbps using iperf[2] to a machine hard wired in the LAN.

If I did live in Sweden and did have Bahnhof, could I hypothetically use my own router by a SFP+ or other connection to the "handoff interface" or whatever people call it these days?

Meanwhile in SV I have to keep calling Comcast every year to renegotiate the price for my Blast!(r) 250Mbps cable.

Looks like 10GPON - a last mile standard for ftth.

Coax needs to die.
