I've had cable for like 2 years and before that I was in a dorm with a T1 line. I coerced my parents into getting a cable modem at their house about a year ago.

There's not much "tweaking" that can be done for a dialup connection.

Call the telco and get a line quality check, the phone line itself is the biggest part that slows you down.
