A 10 second delay is unlikely to be a dns issue, but you can easily test it. Just go to a command prompt and type ping www.bt.com. It should respond with Pinging www.bt.com [62.7.244.127] with 32 bytes of data within a couple of seconds - if it does then your dns is fine, ping will not wait 10 seconds for a dns reply.
