I've been spoiled by a cable modem, but when I go to my parents house, I have to use dial up. One thing that seems to make a big difference is line clarity. They recently switched to receiving phone service through their cable company. The good thing about this is that there is now MUCH less distance for the signal to go before being converted to digital (side of the house). This allows me to sometimes connect at around 5.2K on my iBook.
If you have this type of phone service available, you might want to look into it. It should also be cheaper than your current phone service.
