SOLUTION:

VPN hop around until you hit a data center that is already synced.

While I am not aware of the central location of your PPA, I was able to hit a fully synced repo by connecting through somewhere in Mexico... is it in California?

Perhaps this should be on the wiki: a mention of the option to skip the <=48 hours wait time by somehow forcing connection to something other than these laggy Toronto and NJ Fastly servers.
