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. [1] https://fiber.salt.ch/en/

The thing about this 10Gbps Salt Fiber Deal is that it's only available in very few places. I have 1Gbps Fiber Internet via Swisscom[0] at my Residence, but Salt Fiber is apparently not availible to me, even though the Fiber Infrastructure is shared between all Internet Providers.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is ridiculous. And in Vienna the max you can get over fiber is 300/30 for twice the price of that.

Just looked, UPC wants 45€/m for 300/30 over coax. Fiber would be so nice though.

Yeah, coax is also what most people use I think because it's that much cheaper.

It's a rebranded Huawei https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/access-network/echo...

Oh - you must mean a re-branded extension of the Chinese government's spying apparatus? https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-huaweis-partne...

It's not true 10Gbit. It's only 10Gbit to some pole and then it is shared. Besides their customer service is horrendous.

As opposed to a dedicated direct 10 gigabit line to every other internet device? Everything is always shared unless you request a dedicated circuit between a given set of points. Sometimes the over subscription ratio is just shit, which is a real thing to complain about.

The horizontal fiber deployment is shared (afaik, to be precise, in the same pipes there's Swisscom fibers plus the ones that belong to your local utilities) but ISPs still have to set up their own access points.

I do recommend Init7, but in the meantime Wingo would be a bit cheaper for you, and I believe that Sunrise is available everywhere (they use Swisscom's network where they don't have their own access points). Yallo is currently offering a deal for 35.-/month.

They say that in the article: "In close collaboration with Huawei we have customized Bahnhof’s powerful 10 Gbit/s router HN8255WS, and it’s finally ready to put up for sale."

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.
