I'm afraid it would go the opposite way—everyone chooses the cheaper, less private plans, then the company raises the prices and the ad-ridden plans eventually start costing the same as the old neutral plans, while the neutral plans (sold as "private" premium options) get premium prices - 5x what the ad-ridden plans (and the old neutral plans) once cost, etc.

If they can do that then competition will appear and will offer it for less... Nothing stop them from offering the current plan for 5x the price, except potential competition.
