I have not only switched to lightwieght apps like Opera (it is the fastestto me as well), but I have tweaked Opera's settings and even the MTU in Ubuntu to try to get some increased speed over dial-up. There are tricks to use, like Opera's image blocking feature on sites that you visit frequently on the ads. The best trick to a satisfying dial-up experience is, of course a lot of patience.
