https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing
Sometimes by their partners (they may have Internet Access Providers themselves). They see an IP where you try to connect to, and then decide a route. Sometimes these routing servers are extremely busy for reason such as maintenance or simply the time of day.
For example, one such lag point is the common route that makes a connection cross from the UK to the US; the undersea fiber glass cable opened up for normal internet users.
On the other hand, using VPN services, such as WTFast who has their own routing tables, may actually increase speed and connection stability due to them using not a default route to reach a particular server.
Anyway, if the computers on your road map have issues, you also get connection issues.
This is why in such cases, people sometimes fix their issues with speed by picking a different download region. The route changes to a less occupied one, and boom, increased speed.
Sometimes changing DNS may help. A tool such as Cloudflare WARP may also fix the issue if it stays, but anyway it maybe fixed in a few days on its own.
