I don't know if it's the same issue, but I've been having similar problems:

I also use NTL Dial-up on Win XP, with an internal modem.
We had some major problems with our NTL phone line recently which resulted in them rewiring the whole house, so it's definitely not the phone line which is at fault.
My connection speed can vary between 35kbps and 49.2kbps (this is the fastest I've ever experienced), and in the last week I keep having to reconnect as the connection will just stop working - it looks as is it's still connected but the browser will not connect to ANY sites and Outlook isn't able to check email.

I run various spy-detector, registry cleaner, defragmenting, firewall, and virus programs - anyone know how I can improve the connection speed?!
