I've noticed slow dns as well.  I just did some playing around and
changed my dns settings to 205.152.0.20 and 205.152.0.5 which seem to
always work better than what BS pushes to us over dhcp.

These servers look like they are the same hop count or better away
from me anyway. 205.152.144.23 looks like its in miami.
