The fat warning about optics make me realize a fibre optic cable can transmit light straight to the ISP's box (or can it?), and that it might be possible to shoot a laser to do some damage at the other end of a communication link, however little.

That makes me think of this Danger 5 scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDhrjKZprOo

You could also connect a high voltage high current capable power supply to phone lines or coaxial cable and cause some damage. But it is immediately clear where it comes from!
