Marketing ploy

More speed does not necessarily cost more dollars. It depends on what providers they are using and who they are peering with (for all we know there could be some type of partnership with Google). Offering 1 gigabit in the last mile is trivial as long as the underlying infrastructure supports it.

It's more of a marketing ploy/upsell to increase RPU.
