That's Whats happening here, The Cable is Charging for a Service that is not fulfilling 100%, as it lacks capacity,
SOLUTION Sell only what you have.
Want to sell more, Upgrade,
If you get what you are demanding, then instead of $43/mo or $53/mo, expect to pay $150/mo. Overbooking, as you call it, is why the costs are what they are. Change that method and you will need to pay much more. There is no free lunch.

Overbooking is fine, but you have to manage that so that you are capable of keeping up with your obligations with some degree of certainty.

I've asked before if there's a standard for managing overbooking so that customers still get the bandwidth when they demand it, but it seems that there isn't or people don't know what it is.

For Comcast -- maybe for Cable MSOs as a category -- the wheels of management have left the track. Telcos have arranged their business differently. It's still shared bandwidth, but there are more people in a much bigger pool and they seem able to hit their targets much more often than Cable can.
