My first thought was that your ISP is advertising a digital connection like ADSL, as that's the only way you'll get any genuine speed increase.
However, the potential for greater speed with ADSL is closer to 50 times dial-up speed, so perhaps Peter's take on the situation, that it's probably just caching software that they're peddling, is more likely to be correct.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Dial Up Speed
Dear List,
We have a local ISP that is advertising a new dial-up connection that is 5 times faster than "regular" dial-up connections. I was always under the impression that the connection is only as fast as your telephone line can send and receive. I know they are not going to put in new phones lines for people who subscribe, so how is this possible? Any thoughts or comments on this out there?
Just Curious,
Cindy Sanderson
