I spent some time working for a company that made switches that would do that (Guaranteed minimum, but the sum of the maximum allowed speeds could exceed the link speed). There was no interest from anyone who sold to consumers, but business ISPs liked it.
The perception in residential is that customers don't understand what they want and can't go somewhere else, so you slap the biggest speed number on it that won't get you sued and then provide them crap service.
