Because when it's daytime here, it's nighttime there?

My halfassed thought was that his DNS servers were late with propogation & consequently he couldn't resolve the most direct route to the server he wanted to hit.

dns has nothing to do with routing
all dns does is translate a url into an IP
that's it

Time of day can have a large impact on connection speed. This is largely due to volume of traffic at certain hours. Can you provide a trace route to a couple of the servers in the US that are having problems. Trace route results are not very reliable, but can give you a general idea of where a problem might be.
