Is the low speed of analog dial-up internet also due to the
insufficient density, insufficient thickness, and/or excessive
electrical-resistance of the copper telephone wire?

If the wires had their copper atoms more tightly packed, thicker, and
protected against oxidation as well as EMI/RFI, would this assist in
speeding up analog dial-up connections?

Could protection against EMI/RFI be provided by cover the wire with
insulator, covering this insulator with 2nd layer of copper -- to
absorb EMI/RFI - and then covering this 2nd layer of copper with a 2nd
layer of insulation?
