Several options:

- Ideological motive: Internet corrupts people, we must protect them from evil influence.

- Political motive: Disrupting infrastructure as an attack on the current rulers.

- Financial motive: Maybe they sell cable repair services or satellite-based internet access.

Or just plain vandalism, which doesn't need a discernable motive.

No way of telling without asking them, I guess.
