Exactly, sure disconnect customers from the Internet if they use it for entertainment… but once they use it to earn the income that pays their bills, it becomes questionable… and once it is in practice required to be a citizen, at the local, national or supra national level then it becomes a totally different question, to which the answer is basically no, you can’t disconnect someone otherwise you remove their citizenship.

“the internet” is a necessity and requirement to function in society. You can’t be denied access to it anymore, it would be disproportionate.

I think in Finland it is a basic utility like power and water. It is certainly priced like that.
