Does running this work?
ping gb.archive.ubuntu.com
(Press Ctrl+C to stop it.)
If it works you should get lines like:
64 bytes from 85.133.25.7: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=690 ms

Also, you could try changing the mirror you are using in /etc/apt/sources.lst

If it still doesn't work, mind pasting the entire error you get when you run:
sudo apt-get update

Hope your problem gets fixed.
