I think your assessment that some sort of ISP caching is a good one,
since apt-get update is simply asking for the Packages file from

http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-armhf/

which we all know exists.

The OP might want to try from the pi account

wget \
http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-armhf/Packages

and see what happens, but I expect another 404. But, I just read that
https is not cachable, so maybe

wget \
https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-armhf/Packages

might be just the trick to see if there is some caching going on.
