Noticed the same issue last night on the Debian NZ servers, think they're the same ones for Ubuntu too. Just changed mine to look at the oz servers.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
RickW: Most of that page looks like it needs the GUI, running ubuntu server all I have is terminal. Is there a way to change the update server through terminal alone?
Yes.
First - I'd recommend backing up your /etc/apt/sources.list file first:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Then run sed across it to change it to the AU mirrors:
sudo sed -i -e 's/nz/au/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt update
To get it back to the NZ mirrors just run it in reverse like so:
sudo sed -i -e 's/au/nz/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt update

RickW: Something screwy must be going on because Its saying "can't read /ect/apt/sources.list: no such file or directory"
You done a typo, /ect/apt/sources.list
should be /etc/apt/sources.list
here is a list of mirrors
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
and nz.archive.ubuntu.com is back up..
no need to change to the AU servers

RickW: Thanks guys, yup that was it.
Everything is up and running and I'm now in the process of creating my first website!!!!!!
Take a look at EasyEngine (https://easyengine.io/) as it'll prepare everything for you in a secure manner.
From here, you can do lets say:
ee site create example.com --wp --php7 --hhvm --letsencrypt
to create a speedy Wordpress site complete with SSL (letsencrypt). I'm not kidding, it is really that simple. There is easy to follow documentation on the easyengine website but if you were to use LetsEncrypt ensure you have both Port 80 and Port 443 forwarded to your "server".
