I’m from Spain, have Vodafone as ISP and can’t install any packages either due to the same issue. Accessing https://files.pythonhosted.org/ through a browser shows “Vodafone Secure Net” blocking the content. Edit: I disabled SecureNet on my ISP plan and was able to use pip normally. Maybe OP’s issue is the same case.
