ABSTRACT:
A method is provided to enable providing broadband communication services to a subscriber having a number of devices connected to a regional gateway (e.g. CPE). The method comprises the steps of: carrying out an authentication process between at one of the subscriber's devices and a network server, upon authenticating the subscriber, downloading information associated with that subscriber to an access node. At the access node, designating a port for communications with the regional gateway, and based on identification of the subscriber, allowing the provisioning of broadband communication services to all of the subscriber's devices connected to regional gateway. When the subscriber's device used for the authentication process is disconnected, the system shall continue allowing the provisioning of the already allowed broadband communication services to the remaining devices that are still connected to the regional gateway.
