I use a dial up internet connection. Is there any good program to extract the best possible speed from it?

You may want to check out these tools:

Not sure how much these optmizers help you... Anyway, you can use FireFox with AdBlock extension to block those bandwidht hungry ads (like the one being shown at the right-side of this post ;))

You can also use Proxomitron to filter out unwanted things.
