You are half correct.  When you build the VPN, yes, you are on your company
network, but you are still on your home network.

Think of the VPN as having a second network card in your computer. Your
computer needs to know which interface to send data on correctly.  The
problem with his internet connection dying is that his computer is trying to
send Internet packets across the VPN, as opposed to over his cable modem.
It is simply a routing issue.  No more.
