Floating ISP - An ISP company that floats in the air?

Anyways, there is not such thing. ISP is your Internet Service Provider. The company that provides you internet access. Whom you pay a monthly fee to use the internet. No one but you can change that.

But if you are talking about proxy servers that you can use to surf anonymously. Than yeah... just do a google search for free proxy servers and then on how to set it up. There are also software programs sold nowadays that will do the job and you won't have to do a thing.

Your ISP is the company that you have contracted with to gain internet access. You are free to change ISPs whenever you wish but merely visiting a website isn't going to change your ISP.
