In a number of countries there are legal provisions to prevent cutting access to vital resources for non payment.

E.g. in winter times booting out renters or cutting heating/electricity is forbidden. Applying the same for internet isn’t far fetched anymore IMO.

that’s a reductio ad absurdum via tautology, but the effects are wide-ranging and can include freezing/overheating to death (for instance) from not having adequate heating/cooling. that’s inhumane and abhorrent, especially in the richest nations of the world.

While I agree with you, that's something the US elites decided long ago they don't care about. Chilling, really.
