1. A network node for use with a broadband data provider facility, a first subscriber group and a second subscriber group, the broadband data provider facility being operable to provide first service group provider data and second service group provider data, the network node comprising:
a network access device operable to convert the first service group provider data into first service group network access data and to convert the second service group provider data into second service group network access data, the first service group network access data to be provided to the first subscriber group, the second service group network access data to be provided to the second subscriber group; and
a downstream configuration component operable to receive a configuration instruction, to receive the first service group network access data, to receive the second service group network access data and, based on the configuration instruction, to provide the first service group network access data to the first subscriber group and to provide the second service group network access data to the second subscriber group,
wherein the downstream configuration component is further operable to receive a second configuration instruction and, based on the second configuration instruction, to provide the first service group network access data to the first subscriber group and to the second subscriber group.
