How to surf internet via terminal on ubuntu, fedora and other linux distributions

It's a old and first method found to surf an internet via terminal ( i.e Text mode browsing ).

In this mode of browsing enables user to browse internet without an images. It means it will show only the texts in the Terminal browser. 

To access busy server, this method is easy to access compare to others. Think YOUR RESULT IS CAME. You want to see your result. But at the same time your friends also tries to access the same server. Because of these type of multiple request server becomes busy and only able to reply some of them. If you are using this method you can able to access that busy server more faster than others. Because while GUI based browsers gives request to access all of its contents from the server. In that cases  image data will be more and instead of receiving all image data including all other details it may timeout or still loading while server is busy. 

If we use the text mode browser its only retrives text data from server. Imagine all the data amount of text is equal to retrieving single small logo image data. That's why we said it is easiest way to access busy server and data consume is lower. 

It is best suitable for poor network connections.

Think in schools or colleges , mostly students are not allowed to use internet. If they got any doubts, they are not able to understand exactly of all problems without using internet. In such situations if we use terminal to browse the internet, no one will not easily find you event your school teacher, staffs just noticing your activities from their place.
