An integrated user device couples to a user's telephone network, and to multiple service provider networks. A local interface port couples to a local device. When service is transferred from an old provider to a new provider, a message is received at the integrated user device. Processing circuitry in the user device processes the message and causes switching components in the user device to decouple the telephone network from the old service provider's network and to couple to the new provider's network. The message may be received from the new provider's network or from the local interface port. The message may be an SNMP MIB, a ring signal or a command line interface message; delivery may be via DOCSIS, PacketCable, SIP, or other method. The switching processing components may include relay coils in an alternating arrangement coupled to a source node and to separate relay driver pins of a SLIC.
