I heard in cuba gamers hooked up huge lan network basically making a new internet. This circumvents ISPs which is quite important considering 25% of the entire canadian mobile/internet network is down atm. (https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/rogers-outage-cell-mobile-wifi-1.6514373)

I'm also wondering if a p2p set up would be possible.

Mesh networks maybe? I'm not sure what you're looking for.
