Although I'm not a dialup guy, there are certain tweaks that you can do
Keep in mind that your connection speed is not a true indicator of what your download speeds will be

The first thing I like to check for is any spyware, this can slow a connection to a crawl

Could you please download Hijackthis and post a log
Important
Create a Permanent Folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from HERE or HERE
Save it to that new folder

Do a SCAN----Scan will change to SAVE LOG----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log
here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important
