Depends on the person you ask.

Luxury, due to not needed to run your life. Electricity, Water, shelter are necessary. Food is necessary. Broadband is not, due to it is neither a Utility or necessity to get through your life.

Does it belong anywhere in Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Given that man has existed for some 60,000 years without electricity, I would say electricity is NOT a necessity for survival. While it may have a beneficial impact on our comfort, through central heating, after dark lighting and communications via radio/telephone, it is by no means required to sustain life.
Shelter and food are the only necessities (that and freedom from tyranny) for the individual human to pursue an existance. It is a shame these things are taxes the most heavily, too, of all things we must pay tax on. I don't appreciate that six months of my earnings goes to property tax.
