Martin I'm on Telewest broadband (as you can tell by my email address) and have used that mirror before. However when I did use it, and this was a while ago to be fair, the mirror wasn't very up to date and apt kept falling back to the GB ubuntu mirror. Things may be different now though.

[ubuntu-uk] Edgy update tip
I've found updates on Edgy to be slow even using gb.archive.ubuntu.com. If you're having the same problem try substituting all references to http://(gb.)archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in /etc/apt/sources.list with http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ It's a UK mirror so it's nice and fast (also run by my university hence the pimpage :-p) This should work for all versions of Ubuntu and not just Edgy. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
