1. A method, comprising:
facilitating, by operations support equipment comprising a processor, receiving a first provisioning request for a network provisioning task in accordance with a logical provisioning template applicable to provision broadband internet service, wherein the network provisioning task comprises a first provisioning of the broadband internet service for first node equipment that is part of a broadband network;
based on the network provisioning task, selecting, by the operations support equipment, the logical provisioning template applicable to provision the broadband internet service to facilitate a performance of the network provisioning task;
based on the logical provisioning template, identifying, by the operations support equipment, a programming object comprising logical commands for the performance of the network provisioning task; and
executing, by the operations support equipment, the logical commands of the programming object to control first service implementation equipment to perform the network provisioning task, wherein the first service implementation equipment comprises broadband network gateway equipment that is part of the broadband network, wherein the logical provisioning template is further applicable to provision a label-switching network connection, wherein the network provisioning task comprises a second provisioning of the label-switching network connection for second node equipment that is part of the broadband network, and wherein the second provisioning of the label-switching network connection is in accordance with the logical provisioning template.
