That doesn't prove anything.  Just *look* at the URL that you got from
the error:

It's *obviously* a portal login.  Go to it.  Click whatever the hell it
wants you to click.  Better still, open a real web browser (one with
Javascript enabled) and go *anywhere*.

Once you get your IP "logged in" to the portal, apt-get might start
working again.  Until the next time it wants you to re-authenticate
anyway.

Don't think "But these 11 URLs worked, why does the 12th one not work?"
Nobody knows.  Don't try to figure it out.  Just submit, or get a real
Internet connection.
