  • wait... what you stated in here is 3G tethering, not Dialup. Which is it? (Dialup is where you have to have your computer dial a phone number in order to connect to an internet server, and has been pretty sparsely seen in the USA since about 2000 :/)

the problem is the bluetooth, data transfer via bluetooth is very slow. If the function is available, use USB or better still if your phone is a smartphone, set up a portable wi-fi hotspot. I hope this helps.
