Hey! I know that these type of threads have been posted very much here. Even I have seen them but those commands can't just do anything about my slow speed.
I have tried the following to fix this:
1)Changed my dns server to google's dns(8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4).
2)Changed my repositories in sources.list
from
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
to
deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
Please help!!!

Please verify which repo is being used.

I had a similar problem. I am in Australia and for some stupid reason APT thinks I'm in Russia -_-

You can hardcode your APT sources to http://archive-2.kali.org/kali

visit this link "http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist" it will redirect you to official kali-repository. Then select a link which is closest to you and then copy for example :- "http://example.link.org" Next step open your sources.list file from terminal :- sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list Then type this following: deb http://example.link.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib and you can add other line for source file: deb-src http://example.link.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

I hope this may help your update & upgrade process little bit.
