There's a phrase that's on the tip of my tongue that I can't remember for the life of me
let's say I have a hundred cable subscribers linked to a single splitter that links to the coax cable trunk. Each subscriber has 10mb/down and 5mb/up coax to the house, but instead of having a total capacity of 1000mb/down and 500mb/up from the splitter to the trunk, I provision only 200mb down and 100 mb up because on average not everyone is using all of their bandwidth at the same time
this saves money overall and increases utilization of each coax cable but leads to bottlenecks when everyone gets on to do something (like streaming GoT)
what's the term for this

there's a specific term for it for bandwidth, either for internet or on freeways
freeways aren't designed so that everyone in the area can be on the freeway at the same time, they're designed to handle an average 'load' that's derived from usage patterns

The basic word you're looking for is provisioning.
More specifically:

Congestion?
That's what broadband companies like to call it anyway, even though it's not congestion for multiple people to use what they pay for at the same time. You'd be better off calling it false advertising.
