Verizon’s FiOS system is unique amongst top tier broadband providers due to its unique use of fiber all the way from Verizon’s connection to the Internet’s backbone to the door of FiOS subscribers. The result is an unprecedented level of broadband performance and frequent upgrades to an already-class-leading network that is bound to make other broadband junkies jealous. Add to this the fact that FiOS serves up digital telephone service and a full-fledged, top-of-the-line digital cable service over the very same connection, and it is easy to see why FiOS is popular in the areas in which it is available.
In fact, if Verizon’s FiOS network were to have any flaws, it would be that they company has yet to expand its network from one coast to the other, which means that the very first step in ordering FiOS might be the last for some consumers: checking availability. It is relatively easy to check the availability of Verizon’s FiOS service via Verizon’s own FIOS website. For those customers lucky enough to be in range of Verizon’s 100% fiber optic network, the big question is what to do next.

You have probably already come to the situation where you wanted to visit some website but not from your computer. There are many reasons why you want to browse the internet anonymously. The main reason is to hide your IP address. When you visit some website you provide a lot of information about you and your computer to that website. From the IP address it is possible to determine not just your country but also more precise location. Although it is not easy to connect the IP address with particular person, sometimes it is simply not desired to expose your location or properties of your browser.
There is a very simple way to avoid exposing your details to the destination page. You can use a proxy service to bypass your direct connection with any website. This is a service that acts as an intermediate computer which accepts your web addresses and returns requested web pages. So the target website sees the proxy computer and not your computer or your browser. This way you are not accessing the websites directly and your IP address and other data is not exposed to the world but only to one computer. The only disadvantage of browsing this way is that the communication is a little bit slower because of the additional “element” between your computer and web server. This additional element is a computer which downloads pages and sends them to your browser. But this is the only price you will have to pay for anonymity.
