They could put data caps. They could support it with ads. Both of which give neutral access to full open internet. If it has to be _few_ domains only, they could let the user chose his preferred domains on the 1st of every month.

But no, they want to sell the poor out to the highest bidders.

adding ads will just make the already slow internet slower. loading content + ads is not good for the customer.

Only if the ads are loaded in parallel with the content. The ads can very well be like TV or YouTube ads.
