Worth noting that two big ISPs in the United Kingdom experimented with 
intercepting web pages you'd asked for and replacing all identifiable ads 
(definitely Google ads, maybe others) on them with advertisements from the 
companies which had paid the ISPs.  This was possible only with web requests 
using HTTP.

One discontinued the experiment very quickly.  I don't remember hearing about 
the other one.  For all I know it's still doing it, and swearing every time one 
of its customers uses HTTPS.
