If there is a lack of capacity and there is too many customers on each node, then it is oversubscribed, or if you want to use a different word Overpopulated.
But it's perfectly possible to have a node under subscribed but over utilised, people will then wrongly come to the forum complaining how they're on an over subscribed node when infact they aren't.

This is a contended service, if the node is below the level of contention then it is not oversubscribed, however it can be over utilised if the people on that node are using bandwidth above and beyond what the contention levels permit.
