Broadband isn't a right nor is it a utility, it's a convenience and a valuable resource. If you cannot unplug yourself from the coax or the phone line to go about your daily business, you are in dire need of a life.

What on earth are you talking about? Email and the telephone ARE daily business for most people. A job where you could unplug from both sounds like a luxury to me.

You got your water by a manual pump at the well, and you carried it in the house in buckets. We heated with wood that we chopped ourselves. We used candles and oil (hurricane) lanterns for light, but most activity ceased at dusk anyway.
Telephone? You went down to the General Store and used the phone there. There was no dial, no pushbuttons, either. You turned a crank. And a live person would come on the line and ask what party you wanted to reach.
Yep, telephone was a luxury, and so was electricity and running water. We lived just fine without them for the first 60,000,000 years of the human race.
