Forge Ubuntu 16.04 servers are running Apt updates painfully slow in some European and Asian regions.
For example, 1GB servers in the Linode Singapore region take almost one hour to provision and many things
time out completely because Apt seems to be running so slow. This problem did not seem to be present on
Ubuntu 14.04 and does not seem to affect American regions.
Reward: SOLVED!
