Okay, this could be two things:
1) Your ISP messing around (as others have posted)
2) DNS Poisoning/hijacking. Basically your router or modem has been compromised, and the DNS server IPs have been changed to spammy servers that will sometimes open the site you want, and other times open an ad page.
I've seen both of these things happen first hand. Rather unbelieveable in case #1. More info later... Quote:

This might be because Team-BHP allows http & httpS -- while most other sites force httpS. We'll be doing that soon. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
1) Browse Team-BHP on httpS only (or better yet, use an extension like 'httpS everywhere') that should help.
2) Block cabalten in Chrome - thanks to Siva Kumar D Go to chrome://settings > Content Settings > Javascript - Manage Exceptions > Add [*.]cobalten.com and select Block 3) Check that your DNS server IPs on your modem & router are legitimate (Google DNS or OpenDNS are best)
4) Get another ISP. There are many good options these days. Quote:

Wouldn't be a first... and even Airtel was responsible for doing the same at one point. Quote:

Here's what I did for MTNL, and I'm not sure what effect it had, but it eventually stopped! Shady Business: Airtel & MTNL injecting advertisements / js into websites you visit!
