This sounds like a problem with the DNS -- although why should this
affect you after upgrading to 10.x?  Did you switch to enabling the
local_unbound service when you upgraded?

What does this DNS query return for you?

  % dig IN SRV _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org

That should give you a list of download sites with
'pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org' marked as the highest priority.  Connecting to
this repo by name will automatically direct you to the closest package
mirror to your location.  That's pkg0.bme.freebsd.org for people in Europe.

The quarterly repo is the default nowadays, but you can certainly use
the latest package set if you want to.  Using quarterly vs latest
shouldn't have any bearing on the problems you're experiencing though.

Due to the way pkg.conf(5) works, if you have a
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/anything.conf that defines a 'FreeBSD' tag --
this will be merged with the settings from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.  You
can see what the resulting configuration is by running 'pkg -vv'
