What about simplifying a little?  Remember, if they have Javascript
turned off, (a contentious issue, to be sure, but one you need to
think about) then the page won't work.

<select>
<select name="internet_type">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option value="CABLE">CABLE</option>
  <option value="DSL_R">DSL - with router</option>
  <option value="DSL_N">DSL - no router </option>
. . .

Otherwise, if you MUST do it the other way :) read that excellent
article.  There are quick-n-nastier ways of doing it, if you're
interested.

if you want to keep your own code there, for starters, change 
  document.dslarea 
to 
  document.getElementById('dslarea'), 
(and do some object detection, too!)

and change that loooong
  if (document.frmdefault.internet_type.value ==
to
  if (this.value ==

Let me know if you want more..
