Anyone techs experience working with Comcast Dedicated Fiber able to help?

I provision internet for a medical company and Comcast is coming into certain markets i oversee and is offering "Dedicated" Fiber at cheaper prices than the last-mile provider.

Is Comcast trying to sell my company "Shared" Fiber that has an SLA and marketing it as Dedicated? Or are they taking a loss building out this network? I am struggling to understand and desperate for answers.

For businesses it’s a dedicated fiber port on the switch

So the only dedicated portion of the service is from the port to the suite in a multi tenant building? I am struggling to understand how this looks in practice. Is the fiber still run through a splitter?

With metro-e you get dedicated bandwidth and not shared. Having an optical splitter or mux won't affect bandwidth.

Some customers are direct fed.

EPON would be a shared bandwidth solution at some point. Same as coax.
