Of course it could! I was managed computing systems at the end of a BT leased
line at the time of the last strike (~1985). Despite our leased line needing
no regular maintenance it "magically" died shortly after the strike started
- and remained dead until it was over! Our suspicion was that some striker
pulled a patch panel on his way out!

How would it effect the web?
Will it not effect telephones too?

Will the whole thing go off straight away or just faults as they occur not
get fixed?

If I was seriously pissed off, I would too. Throw the power switch on
the racks.
