  • How are you testing download speed? And which speed are you expecting? How are you connected to the internet? – vidarlo Dec 27 '19 at 09:43
  • for example, I do sudo apt install vlc and download speed is about 40KBytes it is supposed to download much faster as I experienced it before,I am connecting via modem td-lte – Aria P74 Dec 27 '19 at 09:46

  • You haven't mentioned your OS/release, but you have tagged an off-topic OS (*which is also the name of an icon/window theme used by Xubuntu (XFCE) but your image doesn't look like XFCE*). Please provide release details https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic – guiverc Dec 27 '19 at 12:40

    Only Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu are on-topic on this site. Official flavors are Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu-MATE, Ubuntu-Budgie, Ubuntu-Kylin, Ubuntu-Studio, Ubuntu... ie easy to spot having Ubuntu in their name, and downloaded from ubuntu.com (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic offers alternate SE sites if you don't want to use an Elementary forum. – guiverc Dec 27 '19 at 13:37

If you are getting fast speed in the browser and only slow speed for installing packages, the network mirror might be having a problem. You can use netselect package, as it guarantees the fastest mirror selection.

The netselect package is not available within Ubuntu's standard repository by default, so we will need to download it from Debian stable repository. So, run these commands

wget http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/netselect/netselect_0.3.ds1-26_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i netselect_0.3.ds1-26_amd64.deb

Once you have the netselect command available on your Ubuntu system use it to locate the fastest mirror based on the lowest ICMP latency. The netselect output will be relative to your location. The output will show the top 20 apt Ubuntu mirrors ( if available ):

sudo netselect -s 20 -t 40 $(wget -qO - mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt)

Manually alter your /etc/apt/sources.list file to reflect the above netselect results 

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

or use sed command, where the lower score number on the left represents a higher mirror transfer rate. Example:

sudo sed -i 's/http:\/\/us.archive.ubuntu.com\/ubuntu\//http:\/\/ubuntu.uberglobalmirror
