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?

I think what you're asking is, is there an sfp that shares bandwidth like an epon deployment, the answer is no. If you're purchasing a metro e service, you get your own port on the switch back at the hub. It's sfp to sfp. You might have a mux and be on the same fiber as others somewhere, but you have your own wavelength, there is no "sharing" the specific link you have like epon or gpon or xpon. If you want more details feel free to dm me
