Anything powerful enough to fry the internet (powerful enough to fry the root electrical / information transmission network nodes throughout most of the world including backups) will most likely be powerful enough to fry the atmosphere altogether and not need worry from us. Considering that unless you make it strong enough that EM protected military facilities as well as civilian facilities are destroyed as well. You'll have a new net up in a few weeks. Problem is that its not entirely impossible that we'll see a solar flare that fries the entire atmosphere. But thats not about the internet is it.
