I have a pixel 8a with a TIM SIM card and every once in a while I see an ad popup on my phone.

Like a popup how? What kind of dialog is it? It's more likely to be an app that's bundled by your carrier than your carrier MitM'ing ads into your stuff which is kinda what it sounded like

Go to [Settings] » [Apps] » [Special app access] » [Display over other apps] and check if any preinstalled carrier apps or anything suspicious has this permission granted.

Can't you just change your carrier?
