The only thing cutting short UK to EU cables would do is 1. Slow down mainland EU's net connections with the USA (the UK will still be running at same speed or even faster), and 2. Force UK access to EU servers to be routed through more expensive long cables (eg, Poland to Denmark / Germany to USA to UK) which ends up costing everyone (inc EU countries) more. Likewise, Iceland, Norway & Switzerland aren't cut off from the net despite all three being non EU members too. Whomever told you we'll lose Internet access due to Brexit is either not being very honest or is massively misunderstanding how Internet routing works (both technologically and economically).
I don't think the cable will be cut.
