Is there a general consensus that cyber/internal attacks are more
effective/dangerous than physical attacks.  Anecdotally it seems the
largest Internet downages have been from physical cuts or failures.

It depends on what you consider and internet outage. Or how you define
that. IMHO.

Lets bring this discussion to a some common ground -

What kind of implact on the global internet would we see should we observe
nearly simultaneous detonation of 500 kilogramms of high explosives at N of the
major known interconnect facilities?
