To switch or not to switch, that is the question

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fastestmirror isn't generally recommended, there's a reason it's not default. it bases it on ping time which isn't necessarily the best download speed, and it doesn't take into account bandwidth.
Increasing maximum parallel downloads can result in faster download speeds, but this isn't the problem with DNF slowness that OP is reporting.
I definitely do recommend setting the max_parallel_downloads to between 10 and 20. I had the same issue as OP with DNC being super slow, and this fixed it perfectly. I don’t know why that’s not set by default.
