Errrr- from the article it appears the cables actually snapped when a bridge was washed out, not water getting into the cables- any chance for a dig from some though.

LeungKen Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 My internet was down from about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The football match I wanted to watch at 3:00 this morning was missed due to no connection, but all good at 8:00 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems only their cable(s) ran along the collapsed bridges. Other providers might have taken another route (just speculating). The short summary also implies it was a "southern" problem. No it was a nationwide for almost all international connections of ToT. Connections to the south will likely connect down to Singapore, THE internet hub for South East Asia.
