If you take a look at the dslreports.com forums, there are numerous
complains about DNS performance from various DSL and cable modem users. I'm
not sure how reasonable these complains are. The usual solution from other
users is to install a piece of Windows software called "Treewalk" which will
magically cure their problems.
Consumer ISP's who don't proactively take care of security/abuse usually
end up with harvesting-bots which consume significant amount of DNS
resources, typically doing anything from a few dozen to a thousand
queries _a_second_. A few hundred of these will seriously hamper an
usually provisioned recursive server.
