The thing that makes me think something else is going on here is the fact that I ran SuSE on my DSL account without these problems showing up. When I switched to cable, the slow DNS was apparent immediately.
If it makes you feel any better, I have had the same problems with a DSL account that is 3 years running without problems.
I have tried with and without my router. Everything is slow.
BTW, when I do traceroute to my ISP's nameservers, even with 100 hops, it never gets there. Just an endless list of "* * *", but never a resolution to the nameserver IP.
They could be blocking traceroutes, or perhaps even ICMP packets in general?! Can you ping it?
