The APT mirror method should show mirror URLs, rather than mirrors.ubuntu.com, this will make it easier to diagnose which mirrors people are downloading from, this information is displayed when doing:

# apt-get update -o Debug::Acquire::mirror=true
...
Hit mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt/ maverick/main Translation-en_GB
[Connecting to mirror.bytemark.co.uk (xxx.xxx.xxx.xx)]
MirrorMethod::Fetch()
MirrorMethod::Fetch()
Fetch: http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu//dists/maverick-updates/multiverse/i18n/Translation-en.bz2

...for example.
