For anyone else experiencing this:
Solution:
My issue is that my service provider is “virgin media”. They have something called “websafe”. I enable this to protect my child. The way this seems to work is by mitm. I presume this because to fix the error I have done the following:

  1. Open my virgin media account in a browser
  2. navigate to the websafe settings
  3. navigated to the “websites section”
  4. added “github.com” as an “Always allowed” website.
  5. Attempted connection using ssh to github (from powershell)
  6. Received a “Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes” message.
  7. Said yes - the repo is now uploading absolutely fine using ssh (which has never worked before).
