It depends on what level the ads are being cut. But sure, that can be different.

I stand pretty firmly on "everyone deserves access to utilities".

Maybe with a throttle at a certain level if they're abusing the utility itself.

So charging more to big water users is usually fine, refusing to deal at all is rarely fine.

The point at which someone is acting so badly they need to be removed from utilities, where fines aren't even enough, is the point where they should be going to prison. And then they should have access restored upon release.

And sending money in a simple electronic way should be a utility in the US.
