Broadband access management systems and methods

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium or media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors to perform virtualized access aggregation operations comprising:

• linking a plurality of user terminal interfaces associated with a plurality of user terminals to a plurality of virtual access aggregation devices;
• receiving condition and/or performance data from at least two different virtual aggregation devices within the plurality of virtual aggregation devices, the at least two different virtual aggregation devices are linked to at least two user terminals within the plurality of user terminals wherein the at least two user terminals are located in a neighborhood area, such that a condition and/or performance degradation may affect the at least one or more of two user terminals;
• correlating the condition and/or performance degradation with of the neighborhood area and across the at least two different virtual aggregation devices using the condition and/or performance data;
• identifying at least one parameter adjustment in a first virtual aggregation device within the at least two different virtual aggregation devices that will improve performance in a second virtual aggregation device within the at least two different virtual aggregation devices;
• and
• transmitting the at least one parameter adjustment to the first virtual aggregation device.

A device for virtualized access aggregation comprising:

• a plurality of virtual access aggregation devices linked to a plurality of user terminal interfaces associated with a plurality of user terminals wherein the at least two user terminals are located within the same neighborhood area, the plurality of virtual access aggregation devices coupled to receive condition and/or performance data from the plurality of user terminals;
• a correlation engine coupled to the plurality of virtual access aggregation devices, the correlation engine identifies at least two user terminals within the plurality of user terminals such that a condition and/or performance degradation may affect the at least two user terminals, and correlates the condition and/or performance degradation with said same neighborhood and across the at least two different virtual aggregation devices using the condition and/or performance data;
• identifying at least one parameter adjustment in a first virtual aggregation device within the at least two different virtual aggregation devices that will improve performance in a second virtual aggregation device within the at least two different virtual aggregation devices;
• and
• transmitting the at least one parameter adjustment to the first virtual aggregation device.
