I am facing a real world issue that prevents me from using Bitcoin.

I live in Pakistan and for last three days cellular internet service all across the country is suspended because of prevailing law and order situation. Internet is working on fixed line connection that is reaching homes. So there is still some connectivity available.

If government shut down internet service even on fixed line connection then there will be complete internet blackout in the country and in that situation we cant use bitcoin.

I think this is also one of limitation of bitcoin that we need internet to use it. 
Get a StarLink and your problem is solved, you don't have to rely on your country's internet service providers, or if you know other satellite 🛰️ network provider you can just buy their dish and subscribe to the network, it won't take much of your time, the only problem is the cost, they are always more costly than normal internet subs that we do on PC and Mobile.

Before you believe that this is a flaw for Bitcoin I think you should understand that Bitcoin was created with using the internet in mind, everything blockchain requires the internet so it was directly created for the use on the internet.
