1. A method for provisioning customer broadband transport service at a point of service having a digital communication port; comprising:
receiving a digital communication indicating a request from a user to establish the customer broadband transport service, the digital communication including location information for the point of service;
determining telecommunications provider options for the point of service using the location information;
sending a digital message including the determined telecommunication provider options and respective available telecommunications plans that ma be processed by a device operable by the user;
receiving a digital response including information relating to a user selection of one of the determined telecommunications provider options and one of the respective available telecommunication plans; and
automatically provisioning broadband service from the user-selected service provider for digital communications with the digital communication port, wherein the user need not contact the user-selected service provider to establish the broadband transport service.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising enrolling the user in the one of the respective available telecommunication plans.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising configuring digital communications for the customer broadband transport service based on the user selection.
4. The method of claim 1 , comprising digitally communicating with one or more telecommunications providers of a plurality of telecommunications providers.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising digitally polling the one or more telecommunications providers to determine digital communications options.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising creating a service location database of existing service locations available for the existing service locations.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein creating the service location database includes storing telecommunications providers available for the existing service locations.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising updating the service location database with devices and ports at or near each service location.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising updating the service location database with subscribers at or near each service location.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing digital communications between the digital communication port and the user-selected service provider includes programming all devices used to activate service.
11. A system for provisioning customer broadband transport service at a point of service having a digital communication port, comprising:
a processor; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a digital communication indicating a request from a user to establish the customer broadband transport service, the digital communication including location information for the point of service;
determine telecommunications provider options for the point of service using the location information;
send a digital message including the determined telecommunication provider options and respective available telecommunications plans that may be processed by a device operable by the user;
receive a digital response including information relating to a user selection of one of the determined telecommunications provider options and one of the respective available telecommunication plans; and
automatically provision broadband service from the user-selected service provider for digital communications with the digital communication port, wherein the user need not contact the user-selected service provider to establish the broadband transport service.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is programmed to enroll the user in the one of the respective available telecommunication plans.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is programmed to configure digital communications for the customer broadband transport service based on the user selection.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is programmed to digitally communicate with one or more telecommunications providers of a plurality of telecommunications providers.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor is programmed to digitally poll the one or more telecommunications providers to determine the digital communications options.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is programmed to create a service location database of existing service locations available for the existing service locations.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is programmed to store telecommunications providers available for the existing service location in the service location database.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is programmed to update the service location database with devices and ports at or near each service location.
19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is programmed to update the service location database with subscribers at or near each service location.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein to establish digital communications between the digital communication port and the user-selected service provider, the processor is programmed to program all devices used to activate service.
21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by computers, cause the computers to perform operations of:
receive a digital communication indicating a request from a user to establish a customer broadband transport service, the digital communication including location information for a point of service;
determine telecommunications provider options for the point of service using the location information;
send a digital message including the determined telecommunication provider options and respective available telecommunications plans that ma be processed by a device operable by the user;
receive a digital response including information relating to a user selection of one of the determined telecommunications provider options and one of the respective available telecommunication plans; and
automatically provision broadband service from the user-selected service provider for establish digital communications with a digital communication port, wherein the user need not contact the user-selected service provider to establish the broadband transport service.
22. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the instructions further cause the computers to perform operations of:
enroll the user in the one of the respective available telecommunication plans.
23. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
program digital communications for the customer broadband transport service based on the user selection.
24. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
digitally communicate with one or more telecommunications providers of a plurality of telecommunications providers.
25. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 24 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
digitally poll the one or more telecommunications providers to determine digital communications options.
26. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
create a service location database of existing service locations and telecommunications providers available for the existing service locations.
27. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 26 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
store telecommunications providers available for the existing service location in the service location database.
28. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 26 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
update the service location database with devices and ports at or near each service location.
29. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 26 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of:
update the service location database with subscribers at or near each service location.
30. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein to establish digital communications between the digital communication port and the user-selected service provider, the instructions further cause the computer to perform operations of: program all devices used to activate service.
