Comment 24 for bug 464422

Guys, while Andy's suggestion works well for browsing the internet, there
are other network related operations in Ubuntu that are experiencing the
slow connection. Upon searching the internet, I found that doing this:

https://store.opendns.com/setup/device/ubuntu/

is the best workaround for now. Basically, it changes your ISP's default dns
server and uses that of opendns (which is faster and has no issues with
IPv6). Personally, I've noticed that things are faster as far as network
connections and internet related applications are concerned. Ubuntu needs to
fix this asap before new users fall back through the Windows of death.
