Method and apparatus for improving broadband experience using cloud based recommendation engine

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon, the computer program code, when executed by one or more processors implemented on a computing system, causes the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• recording operational data from a plurality of devices within the home network over a first period of time;
• generating first data associated with a first long term behavior pattern for a first device within the plurality of devices;
• generating second data associated with a second long term behavior pattern for a second device within the plurality of devices;
• generating performance adjustments based on the first and second data;
• defining hierarchies for the performance adjustments for at least one device within the plurality of devices, wherein the hierarchies are defined based on a level of inclusiveness covered by the performance adjustments;
• correlating the performance adjustments into at least one group according to similarities in the performance adjustments;
• aggregating performance adjustments from the at least one group to generate unified performance adjustments that improve the performance of the home network and
• transmitting the unified performance adjustments to one or more devices within the plurality of devices.
