The way they market purefibre is impressive because it makes a customer believe they have a dedicated 1 Gbps fibre pipe all the way back to their core and is not shared. That isn't the case.
I'll note the situation is much worst with cable nodes which have to share a relatively tiny 150 megabits of upload.
