Try the mtr or traceroute command to see if it is not perhaps a server
inbetween you and ftp.debian.org.  For me I am not having any problems.
Another good tool is netselect to find a mirror which is faster for you.

# netselect -vv ftp.debian.org ftp.us.debian.org http.us.debian.org \
http.us.debian.org debian.midco.net
ftp.debian.org                         211 ms  12 hops   80% ok ( 8/10) [  578]
ftp.us.debian.org                      152 ms  15 hops  100% ok (10/10) [  380]
http.us.debian.org                     218 ms  13 hops   90% ok ( 9/10) [  556]
http.us.debian.org                     203 ms  12 hops   80% ok ( 8/10) [  556]
debian.midco.net                       183 ms   9 hops   90% ok ( 9/10) [  385]
  380 ftp.us.debian.org


You should also try and use the {http,ftp}.us.debian.org sites rather
than the straight {http,ftp}.debian.org sites for apt.  The .us. sites
are on a round robin dns so will spread the load out over several
different sites.

# nslookup http.us.debian.org
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1
