Too slow snap downloads(Resolved)

When I am trying to download and install anything from the snap. I am getting a very slow initial download speed and after some time it cannot perform the installation. My internet is working fine.

Here is my fast.com result -

Hello folks,

We are no longer using Fastly, so the fastly-debug.com advice is no longer valid. Updated diagnostic advice is in Extremely slow snap downloads.
