Has T-mobile started blocking NPM?
Getting EHOSTUNREACH over cell hotspot (and tether). Any T-mo subs out there care to switch to the hotspot, try 'npm -g outdated' or similar, and post results?
Edit: Correct errno code. Ubuntu 18.04; current and ~6-month old npm distros both fail.
Just quickly tried running the command on T-mobile hotspot and also couldn't connect. I didn't try debugging much, so it could've been another issue, but just adding myself as a data point.
I tend to get bizarre and seemingly incorrect network errors randomly from various npm packages from time to time. Yarn does it too (sometimes worse). They will fail with a network error yet I can reach both the package repository and the package files themselves just fine using a browser, and the problem will persist for a while. It might be that.
Worked for me. Turned on my T-Mobile hotspot in Santa Monica, CA, connected to it, and ran `npm -g outdated` as suggested. It ran successfully.
I am able to download packages even now. Greater NYC
FWIW, on _German_ T-Mobile access to npmjs.com works just fine.
