I'm having a problem with the speed of my internet on the terminal, which is extremely slow, I disabled ipv6, because I researched and in my research I saw that it could be that, but I still have the same problem, what makes me strange is that it's just by the terminal, when i do the speed measurement by the browser or when i try to download something by the browser the speed is normal mbps 500, but i tried to download python by apt and well... "Fetched 1766 kB in 10min 20s (2,848 B/s) )", with and without ipv6 the speed through the terminal is about 3 b/s I don't know what to do to solve it.
Hi and welcome to the forum 
For me, it sounds like a speed limitation of the other end. Some public servers are very slow.
if that's what's happening, it's happening to all apt servers
It depends on where you live and which server you are using.
You can change the server in Software and Update.
Yes, using the terminal uses the same connection as using any GUI. It doesn't somehow use a different one.
It may be a matter of timing; that you happened to use the terminal at the moment there was packet drop.

I think I'm having problems with the ubuntu repository mirror in Brazil, I switched to the main repository in the settings but when I use sudo apt update, I'm still using it I think it's for the things I've already downloaded through it that are still updated by it, would there be any way for me to reinstall Zorin using only the main repository?
If you switched to Main Server; then you are using Main Server.
Can you please describe this in better detail?
When I installed zorin it already came by default using the br repository I changed it in the settings to use the main repository but for example if I type "sudo apt update" I imagine that the things I have already installed using the br repository are still being updated through the repository br as in:

That's why I would like to reinstall Zorin OS on my computer and start using the main repository from the start of Zorin installation on my computer.

Ah, I understand now. Strange that it is doing that, though.
Searching I saw that the mirror gb.archive.ubuntu.com has the same ip as archive.ubuntu.com, that is, two domains for the same access, both are located in London, in the Zorin installation when you asked my location I put London and right after the installation was completed I already changed to use the main repository and I changed the location to são paulo brazil for the date and time to be correct well it worked, i just don't know why i was having problems accessing the brazil mirror since apparently I'm the only one with this problem, that is, it must be a problem with my internet provider.
