Starlink in the Falklands, a National Emergency Situation?
With these internet connections, I really hope the local techies are helping set people up uBlock Origin, running something like ClearURLs to short-circuit unnecessary redirects (I assume GEO latency), and running LocalCDN to avoid re-downloading the same libraries and assets over and over. Probably also good to install something that defaults Youtube to 360p, and Pihole for mobile/smart devices.
I would run uBO in Medium Mode[1], but I expect that's probably too much for most non-technical users.

(see “I am an advanced user!” expanding section at the bottom)

Sega of America CEO Shuji Utsumi on VF: “We are evaluating right now. Virtua Fighter doesn’t use so many tricks, special moves like in Street Fighter, it’s very realistic [...] How can we make it more dramatic? It’s something we’re working on.”
