Answers:
theres no such article as high speed dial up. there's dsl, cable, t1,t3, and fios. if i be you, i'd get dsl from verizon for freshly 15 dollars or if you want the fastest they offer, bring their fios.
There isn't any such entity. The closest you will get is dsl. DSL will only come to your hamlet when your local exchange carrier believes they own a large satisfactory subscriber base to support the investment and own enough subscribers to variety it profitable. Get together with your neighbours and petition your local owner letting them know you want DSL Internet.
Otherwise, it is possible to subscribe to ISDN service which will give you up to 128 Kbps and possible 256Kbps background rate speed. ISDN is in essence "high-speed dial-up". ISDN is what businesses used for digital access over PSTN phone lines up to that time Internet DSL service became available.
If you can't acquire DSL anytime soon, ask your local phone company if they can provide you with ISDN service at 128 or 256 Kbps speed for Internet access. There are some exchanges that still provide ISDN service. It requires a special dial-up modem, is somewhat more expensive, but may be the only track to get speed high than the standard 56Kbps modem speed.
I have Cable "Lite-Speed" Internet next to my cable company. Lite-speed is only 256/128 Kbps (256 download/128 upload) and I seize by just fine. I even use it beside various VoIP services and procure by fine. I just can't surf while chitchat on the VoIP phone, if I want good voice part... So, if you had 128/256 ISDN Dial-up service, it would be much better than 56K dial-up.
