Doesn't matter. It's just a way of multiplexing. They will be able to offer as much bandwidth as they want. The bandwidths that are being offered are after the splitter. Not before. It is absolutely the same as if one fiber was dedicated all the way from the C.O.. It just requires a broader band signal leaving the office.(In this case by a factor of 32)

And as for your comment about spending the $$$. Are you kidding me?
