Without knowing what you tried, it's difficult to know what to suggest,
but here are some things to consider:
I) Try different DNS servers (perhaps OpenDNS)
II) Try a DNS cacher (dnsmasq)
III) Do something simple, like 'dig somesite', from the command
line, preferably repeatedly, and report the response times (dig itself
will report ';; Query time: n msec')
