Don't worry is my awful ISP's DNS system.
They cover a large amount of the UK though so other users may be experiencing problems.
For some reason there dns won't respond to a couple of names xbmc's being one of them.
Dumped them in favour of google dns. I am not going to look back.

I noticed you asked for some dig outputs on another post regarding this....
On talktalk's dns (ID mismatch ??! Perhaps here lies the problem):
dig xbmc.org

;; Warning: ID mismatch: expected ID 45021, got 33271
; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> xbmc.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

Some problems with Sky Broadband (EasyNet) UK Too.
Seems to be alright now. Though DNS resolving still seems a bit on the slow side. Using Google DNS and its fine now.
