I'm actually on high-speed cable, Time Warner in central New York, probably among the fastest "normal" commercial cable services.

As far as submitting forms from a web client (browser), that's what (X)HTML is for. I don't know if you're familiar with the client-server nature of the paradigm. If you want to send encrypted information you need secure interchange.

Registration processes are a dime a dozen (see any of lebenty-jillion forums, for instance). One uses server-side code to accomplish this and to accomplish interactions with the database. PHP and other languages are commonly used. ASP.NET is among them, but not the most widely portable. The whole thing is a 3-tier process: client, server, and database.
