More than several intermediaries see all the packets between you and your bank. Packet-switched networks are pretty much a broadcast technology. Your information could be routed any which-way through the network, you have no idea who might be logging it as it passes by.
And the horse has already left the barn, kicked over a lantern, and set it on fire, because an incredible amount of internet is already being barfed across the EM spectrum. Anyone who can listen in to your satellite internet has already cracked your phone's LTE and your laptop's WiFi, so it's kind of moot anyway. People in rural parts of the US are already spending $$$ for mobile data plans in lieu of wired broadband.
