Do we do anything to "network error" questions?

$

Everyday hundreds of questions caused by network issues emerge. Examples include:

  • (Git or SSH) cannot connect to github.com port 443: connection timed out
  • All kinds of package managers:
    • pip ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.python.org', port=443): Read timed out.
    • NPM ERR! Response timeout while trying to fetch https://
    • VS Code extension install
  • Or whatever error message caused by a poor connectivity to the Internet

I do find it boring to tell the OPs "check your network connectivity" over and over again, so I just vote to close as "not reproducible" (an answer would be boring and not helpful to anyone else). My question is, shall we (or can we?) do anything to this phenomenon? I'm also finding it difficult to put together an FAQ in a form suitable for SO.
