Yes. The best thing you can do is check what your DNS servers are, and where they are. If your ISP is giving you, for example, one local server and one non-local server, do some sleuthing and figure out where their second local dns server is, and hard code your DNS to those servers (or, remove the server that isn't local). In the earlier days of the Internet, you were encouraged to provide geographically diverse DNS servers. But, what many operators did not understand is, that rule of thumb is for authoritative DNS hosting. For DNS resolvers, you want those to be in the metro area that your internet connection terminates, and in that AS. Another ISP even in the same metro area is not good enough. That other ISP will not have the same peering/transit arrangements as yours. So frustrating.
