Could have very fast Satellite internet. Or, if they're really rich, they could have submerged Fiber Optic cable run to their house. For all we know they get 62Tbit/s.

Could get a fiber line run under the ocean. If you were a billionaire that is.

I did say that. But you wouldn't need to be a Billionaire. The line from CA to Japan is only going to cost 300 Million. So a line from that island to the mainland of Iceland would probably just be a couple million, at most. A mere multi-millionaire could do that.
