Both freebsd-update and portsnap seem to be very fast for me at the moment.

It looks like we have update2 in the dns rotation (at least when I queried):

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org.	IN	SRV

;; ANSWER SECTION:
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org. 1707 IN	SRV	1 25 80 update2.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org. 1707 IN	SRV	1 30 80 update4.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org. 1707 IN	SRV	1 10 80 update1.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org. 1707 IN	SRV	1 10 80 update3.FreeBSD.org.

Keep up the good work.
