Update:

There was an issue with webup8 but bigger than that is the fact it inconsistantly has issues with DNS The browser also cant find websites then if I refresh loads like normal.

When doing apt it sits on [Working]0% for 30s before it kicks off.

Any ideas?

New install of 17.10 on an iMac

Browser working fine with wifi but cannot update with apt-get have been trying for 2 days.

Have tried a different mirror same issue

The reason given is not consistant this the first time

$ sudo apt-get update

webupd8 isn't active since end of 2017 so the repos like most of them or all are inactive and may cause problems as You've encountered
