Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
associating a network identifier for each of a plurality of network devices with a single network access subscription, wherein the plurality of network devices includes a first network device and a second network device;
allocating a subset of available bandwidth to the single network access subscription;
providing, to the plurality of network devices, access to an external network, wherein the plurality of network devices share the allocated subset of available bandwidth; and
in response to a bandwidth usage by the second network device rendering a remaining bandwidth available to the first network device according to the single network access subscription insufficient to transmit network communication data from the first network device to the external network, transmitting, via a gateway device, the network communication data from the first network device to the external network by treating data transmitted via the gateway device to the external network from the first network device and the second network device as if the data were transmitted via the gateway device to the external network from a single device according to the single network access subscription.
