Lora is not for general usage / internet. Basic messaging - maybe. But it achieves a few kbps in good conditions.
Recall we had a whole interactive/social world in the 80s with BBSs with 300 baud acoustically coupled modems.
Is it any more difficult to jam than other network technologies?
No, and they have a large attack surface thru various techniques, so not a good choice for anything but keeping touch with friends and relatives (assuming no mass usage occurs)
