Sounds a bit like how overbooking works.
Instead of upgrading cables and making them handle all the customers (So they get what they pay for),
you oversell the network with a shitty excuse.
You shouldn't sell 10 cars when you only got 9 and expect the last two customers to share.
It is a scummy practice and should be illegal.

And the money they get in subsidies/tax breaks is supposed to go towards maintaining and improving the whole thing, but instead it gets kicked right back to congress as lobbying power for shit like repealing Net Neutrality so they'll be able to lump popular websites, even those that compete against their TV service, into categories you pay for to get usable access to. And I'm almost positive this is illegal. Surely intentionally limiting users access to a business' website, such as Netflix, unless you pay the ISP extra, goes against a law. Like holding a company's business hostage for ransom
They're bent on staying where they've been since they knocked out all the 56k and smaller ISPs and not actually improve or adapt
