Ads fucking suck, and what Google is doing definitely seems like monopolistic abuse, but there are much better arguments against Google than what you’re saying. You pay your ISP to access content, not paying for the content directly. Analogously, imagine being mad at McDonald’s for not giving you free drive-through food… because you pay road taxes.
No, that analogy doesn’t work. Cox communication have confirmed that you are guaranteed the speed you pay for up to the cable modem. Ads use bandwidth. A more accurate analogy would be if you pay for a certain amount of time with a therapist, but throuought therapy, they stop to talk about something else but still count it towards your therapy time.
