We don't really mean it.

By opting out, you will continue to receive advertisements as normal; but these advertisements will be less relevant and less useful to you..

Hee, nice. An opt out that isn't.

Stumbles, the ISP is just letting you know that you will still receive ads, just not the targeted ones. Just like before they started using NebuAd. As an ISP myself, I can understand, I can see my customers now saying, "I opted out but I still get ads and popups, why?"

I don't think ISP's should be allowed to interject crap such as ads, targeted or not into my data stream as I surf about. If such things are on the website I visit, that is one thing. By default it should be an automatic OPT-OUT with the requirement ISPs ASK for permission FIRST. The assumption ISPs think they own MY data is bull.
