Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is meaningful amounts of bandwidth available via satellite today. Even something like starlink today is just a bent pipe from ground station to ground station (and is super recent).

Whatever bandwidth is available would undoubtedly be quickly consumed if the land lines were cut...
