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.
