You can use online testing connection speeds. None are really a huge amount faster than others though. I would say that if your getting dial-up not to worry about speed because it will be slow. If you are getting DSL + then you need to look into it more.
My suggestion is to probably to get a better dial up isp that may help.
If you are referring to "dial up" internet, it is significantly inexpensive than the other ISP's out there, but much slower.
No, a dial-up modem is not an ISP; it is a device used to connect a computer to the internet over a telephone line. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that offers internet access to customers, using various technologies, including dial-up, DSL, cable, fiber, and more. The modem acts as a gateway between the user's computer and the ISP's network, enabling internet connectivity.
To setup dial up you would need to contact your ISP. Your ISP is your Internet Provider. Otherwise known as the one you pay for your internet connection. They will be able to guide you through the setup process.
Most cable broadband ISP give you a dial-up number with your cable service just in case your cable internet goes completely out. The dial-up is a back-up for your broadband connection. I know yahoo DSL and Comcast both have dial-up numbers you can access from their homepages.
A internel modem in a computer can be used for a dial-up connection service from your ISP. A external modem is used for dial-up, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), and cable Internet. Dial-up = Phone line DSL = Phone line (generally faster and does not cut out your calls) Cable Internet = TV line
One can get help for setting up a network with a dial up ISP from various websites. To name a few: 'Techtips', 'Technet.Microsoft' and 'Wikihow'. Wikihow delivers the most beginner-friendly guide.

It really depends on what you're talking about. If you want to connect to your dial up ISP at a higher baud rate, you are more or less at the mercy of the telephone lines. If you want to be able to surf the internet faster there are several ways to do that. Learning to avoid Malware, getting a high speed dial up account, stopping flash video and advertisements from playing.
The main benefits of a dial-up ISP are the price and the fact that is available is many rural or remote areas where broadband services are not offered. Many people who only occasionally use the internet continue to use dial-up because they do not want to deal with extra equipment or to change to a new internet provider.
