Technical subtleties aside, I'm actually siding with Free here. I have a Freebox myself, and every computer in my household already uses some kind of ad block, but nonetheless I find the move to suit Free pretty well.
As said already, Free is trying to disturb industries, to break the status quo. €60 per month for 512Kbps vs €20 per month for 20Mbps... €60 per month for unlimited calls plus 1GB fair-use data plan vs €20 per month for unlimited calls plus 3GB fair-use data plan...
It's all about disrupting the big players. Lots of people try to access Google's services, I'd argue it's only fair if hugely-profitable Google help ISP's users better access their services.
Where do you live and how much do you pay for what connection? I've lived in China, Canada and France and France was by far the cheapest and the fastest (with Free) connection I had in my life.
