The UN said that cutting down someone's Internet was a human right violation, not that broadband Internet is a basic human right (maybe it's implicit, but it's not the main purpose of the definition).

Now, on court, you could appeal to human rights (and, worst case scenario, to AI) if, for instance, you are being prosecuted for rousing up an insurgent concentration on Facebook. Equally, the UN could interpose when a country decides to cut off the Internet to avoid communication during chaos or protests.
