I see this with SuddenLink as well, and it's very aggravating just for usability reasons, much less the fact that they don't deserve the ad revenue. Usually I'm one character off the URL I meant to type, and all I want to do is go to my location bar and fix it. But instead, I'm redirected to $NEW_URL, which requires me to completely retype the desired URL. And since I'm then angry because of the stupid ad page, I sometimes mistype it again. :)
