No...
You say internet isn’t a utility because it’s not a necessity. I say people can also technically live without electricity or gas.
You say a utility needs to be required in building codes. Therefore internet can’t be a utility. I say gas isn’t required as far as I know. So why is that a utility?
I’m sorry but I still don’t understand why internet can’t be considered a utility.

Not if they want to be considered as part of the functioning society...which is what utilities are all about. Passive forms of entertainment are not necessary for a functioning society.
