A telecommunication network limits bandwidth usage for devices associated with lower service priority levels, thus conserving physical resources for use by devices with higher service priority levels. Low priority devices can include mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) devices, roaming devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and/or the like. The telecommunication network enforces the limited bandwidth usage if a low priority device is capable of using channel subdivisions (e.g., bandwidth parts (BWPs)), and this device capability is communicated during a UE capability exchange that occurs during a registration process. Core network functions provide a policy that specifies a limited channel bandwidth for a capable low-priority device to a network node of the telecommunication network to which the wireless device is communicably coupled. The network node configures the wireless device to use the limited channel bandwidth according to the policy.
