What happens with your network when the power goes down in your area, do you lose connectivity to the outside world?

We have Eaton online UPS, which as of now can provide 4 hours of power backup. We've also got 3KVA power generator which runs on fuel, used only in event when power failure is for longer durations and UPS batteries need to be re-charged. Pretty common here.
