I'm having this problem with 12.04, which has been running and updating
quite happily for several months. I Eventually applied the workaround
described in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/apt-

Addendum to last comment:
For clarity, I should have said that the solution suggested in the link
was to set the DNS to 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 directly.

First, let me say that using the suggestion in #18 about hard coding the

Hi Jason,
I have the same scenario - ATT U-verse and issues with APT.
Issue disappeared when I manually set DNS to google's free DNS service (
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 , pretty fast).
However, I tried latest Alpha of Ubuntu 10.10 and it DOES NOT have this
issue anymore!
What I have noticed earlier,
I have tried to find a way to manually set the DNS and I can't find it.
There used to be a special advanced config area you could get to by
doing to /mdc (or something like that) that let you change more
settings, but it wasn't available there either.
Since my RG has been updated (automatically)
Jason,
I know /mdc disappeared for a while but now it's back. My gateway
runs version 6.1.9.24-enh.tm and I can get to /mdc. But it's more like a
detailed list of setting than actual configuration page.
