Abstract
An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for fast channel changes of media that is provided by a carrier over a local loop connection to a subscriber, where subscriber information is stored at the access node that supports the local loop connection to the subscriber, and the access node supports multicast protocols so that only one instance of a channel may be provided on the core network regardless of how many subscribers have requested access to the channel.
