That's where I would respectfully disagree DB.  I don't really have anything to hide, but it's nobody elses business where I am, what I buy and sell, what shops I might visit and how much I spend.  more dangerously than that.  What if a particular government decides they don't like my political leanings, or maybe what books I might read.  The list is endless when you think about it.  The day could come when THEY knock on your door in the middle of the night.  After all, they know where you are.   It's happened elswhere.

I said phone services DJ, not individual phones, land line longs distance phone services are almost a thing of the past, they go from one auto exchange, uplinked to a satellite, then downlinked to a larger auto telephone exchange.

Some years back we had a major solar flare that fried several satellites, caused chaos with phone systems in several countries.

If I were to use two proxy server's, would this slow down my internet speed sufficiently for me to qualify for a monthly rebate from my suppler? ;)
