I don't see how we can achieve an overall timeout. We only have per connect() timeouts available, and we run multiple apt processes / fetches. We can limit the individual connect() timeout to 30s, but overall? I think we do one attempt for archive.ubuntu.com / mirror and a another for security, so we should be looking at a one minute timeout overall.
In fact, apt-setup already sets a timeout of 30 seconds for the updates. Now about the 16.04 log: I'm not sure about networking, is that an IPv6-only network? It times out for security.ubuntu.com after 3 minutes, which is expected for 6 addresses (and security.u.c resolves to 6 IPv4 and 6 IPv6 addresses). With 18.04 apt, this should time out in roughly 32 seconds (6 , which seems to match the second 18.04 result. Not sure why it times out in 90 seconds of file 1 of 3, though.

The timeouts are too long and makes user feels the machine may have some problems. The symptom is similar with bug #14599, but it seems the apt-setup module was rewritten. Another method to trigger this issue is to make the machine cannot access to the Internet, for instance: a wrong gateway.
