The broadband connection usually has latency depending on the protocol. ADSL2+ with data interleaving can be as high as 32ms. DOCSIS has at least 5ms for the first hop too. And that assumes your ISP's (or whichever) DNS server is close from a network perspective and that it has enough power to instantly send a reply down the wire.
