Story: A billion internet users can be wrong
GSM is fast enough if that's what you can get, but...
...if it's suggested as a viable alternative to the web, then you're close to saying "let them eat TXT" and open to accusations of dumping.
In the early 1990s, when some whole countries were hanging off 2.4k lines, FIDO was suggested as a way to get Africa online in the absence of full reliable connections, but it was rejected.
Learning how to get by without connections (or with poor ones) is useful, but it's wasted if the reliable good connections are actually on their way.
