And why would you assume that such jobs don't require internet access? Shift workers are sent their schedules via email. They talk to their bosses after hours via email. Factory workers often complete mandatory training (health/safety certs etc) from home. Just as once upon a time each employee having a phone number was once optional, basic administration of any vocation now requires internet access.
I'd say that monastic orders probably can go without, but I equally assume that there is an abbot out there somewhere staring at a screen and mumbling about how slow the wifi gets on sunday mornings.
