Now that virtually everyone is on Cable/DSL/other connection methods and lots of people have ditched their land lines for mobile phones only, I have always wanted to test a computer with dialup and see if it is any faster than back in the day. I wonder if this would make a difference? Surely the wired telephone grid must be utilized less now than it was 12 years ago.

your perception that you have been given about the speed of the internet thru the use of cable would jade your answer to believing that the 56k is actually slower than you remember.

ie, its nearly impossible unless you had some visual evidence to compare. memory would be very construed.
