Do Ethernet cords speed up a dial up connection? (link)
The short answer:

No.


The long parts:

Ethernet (being CAT-5 or CAT-5e cables) are used in connecting system through a lan or to other devices that use a 10baseT (RJ45) connector.

Dial-up implies going through a phone line - so you're not using ethernet, but a point-to-point connection over the phone, which is by nature far, far slower than ethernet.

You can run phones over CAT-5 wiring, but that still doesn't make it ethernet.
