Oh - you must mean a re-branded extension of the Chinese government's spying apparatus? https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-huaweis-partne...
vs. AT&T?
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…
You should be able to route 10gbps with a whitebox PC containing a recent intel Core CPU (say, 5th gen or later) and a decent NIC such as Intel X540 or similar.
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?
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/
USI in Minnesota (US) has been doing it for over a year. They launched 2.5gbit and 5gbit options back at the start of 2016. Granted, their coverage map is a tiny fraction of Minneapolis. https://fiber.usinternet.com/ That being said, I think Banhoff was claiming to be the first in Sweden, not worldwide.

I was under the impression a customer cannot replace AT&T routers. Do you mean you use a different router behind the box AT&T provides, or that there are viable replacements for the boxes AT&T provides customers to connect service?

Sure, but that NIC is $274, so not cheap for casual home users. [1] https://m.newegg.com/products/9SIA4A04ZV6491

Anything from the ConnectX (series 1) model onwards works decently in Linux (CentOS) & FreeBSD.

I hope so. My EdgeRouter X is scheduled to come tomorrow. I have a fiber connection box coming in, which outputs RJ45. I am assuming the AT&T router can be replaced as it is just doing DHCP to get my public IP.
The auth protocols are generally standardised though, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. :)
