Well regardless if it's a fiber connection or not it has to terminate on a CE router of some sort before being routed through the networks backbone. They most likely do the same thing you see with your current cable infrastructure, and have a customer fiber switch for each designated area of service. Those switches/routers tie back in to their network before being sent to the routers provided to them by their upstream ISP/NAP.

Ahh the glories of the interwebs.
