The general opinion would be, you as vulnerable with your current route through your ISP as you are through Tor. Encrypted protocols are a requirement.

Any fears of username/password harvesting? I mean, I can come up with really good, long, random character passwords [2] for each and every site/server, but what good is it if some "anonymizing" router out there is logging them all?? Is this a realistic possibility? thanks. [1] http://tor.eff.org [2] http://keepass.sourceforge.net/
