Its very practical for a country to cut 95%+ of its Internet connectivity.
Its not a complete cut-off, there is some limited connectivity. But for
most ordinary individuals, their communication channels are cut-off.

Does anyone know the network mechanics of how this happens? For
example, do all fiber connections go through a governmant choke
point for suppression? If so, what's to stop ubiquity-style
microwave over the border to sympathetic folks on the other side?
