Whenever I try to update using apt-get update it stuck at 

0% [Waiting for headers]

I tried with my phone hotspot, on that it works fine but while I am using the Wi-Fi connection of my ISP it stuck. I am able to open websites in a browser, and my internet connection is totally fine.

I tried changing the server to download from and selected 'main server' and rebooted but it is not working, still stuck at 

0% [Waiting for headers]

How can I fix this?

I removed the Google Chrome update from update manager > other software. And it works fine. What I found is may be the Google server takes a lot of time through my isp so I feel it's better to upgrade chrome manually.

Run the following

sudo nano /etc/gai.conf

Scroll with arrow keys down to where it says:

#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100

remove the comment (#) and save it
