@nc50lc Try to change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 then update here if it solves your issue.
I was using Cloudflare's DNS prior, then changed to Google's, restarted the router and the issue still persists.
Based from other's replies, I think this is an issue with my and OP's ISP, router, PC or other network setting; not Electrum.

StrongCore I'll post it here if I found the issue.
