Some of the oldest ISPs on the planet have been doing it for years. It's
called oversubscribing.
288 ISDN ports at a POP being fed with 3 DS1's into the WAN. They're
selling "business" accounts with a CIR of 128K.
We've run into it twice on WAN connections into supposed Tier-1's. It's
sad when you have more connectivity into them than they have to the world
(at least at your peering point)..
