(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("x" "Work and internet and untagged" tags "+work|+internet|-TAGS={.}")
	("X" "Home and internet and untagged" tags "+home|+interent|-TAGS={.}")))

I am assuming that when you say "untagged", you mean items without local
tags. If you want inherited tags to be considered, use ALLTAGS instead.

The simplest solution is just to use a query/match (as above). The
variables org-agenda-filter-preset and org-agenda-skip-function are
meant primarily for agenda views, which are built around timestamps
rather than tags searches. When simply searching for tags, the tags
matcher is the best bet.

Note, you could accomplish the same thing with:

C-c a m "work|internet|-TAGS={.}"

See the following for more information:

Best,
Matt
