I believe they mean dedicated fibre as in a home fibre broadband connection. In the UK that can mean anything from VDSL to FTTH (thanks advertising watchdog!).

These aren't being used as web servers and the like. The intention is to take batch jobs and run them - computer modelling etc. The data can easily be downloaded overnight over even a relatively modest connection.
