Well an actual worst case scenario also brings down your internet connection. Without banks various internet providers wouldn't be able to pay each other for connections. I mean they could theoretically let each other communicate for free. But we're talking ISPs and such.

Not sure if we talk about the same: The last worst case scenario was 2008 (stock crash, banks went bankrupt) but the Internet was still fine.
