You initially questioned whether or not people had the resource of internet. Not, if they had internet and were facing issues. While you have a point that people are hampered due to not having computers or faced challenges due to data caps, there are many factors that come into play regarding that and it doesn't make sense for either of us to speculate because we can both find data to support our claims as to why someone could be facing issues. For example, As someone in the tech field, I've seen people run into issues while working remote durin the pandemic simply cause they were trying to work and their kids were home playing xbox in one room, there spouse working in another, and everyone had their televisions streaming netflix. This doesn't include their cell phones and other devices that utilize the internet that are on and active. Some would think that their internet is "broken" when in reality they just have to turn off some of the devices/services that they got going on.
