What would happen to your Internet when the Internet collapses?
You could still access television programming sent via broadcast towers if you had an antenna. But if the cable and satellite systems were part of the general collapse, you’d lose access to most channels.

What would happen to the Internet if the Earth collided?
An asteroid or comet could collide with the Earth with enough force to destroy a significant portion of the internet’s infrastructure. Overwhelming gamma radiation or electromagnetic fluctuations coming from the sun might also do the trick. But in those scenarios, the Earth itself would become a lifeless hulk.
