I suspect it would be hard to get a definitive answer.
Can you get out of the city?  "State"?  Country?  etc.
Without knowing the extent of an outage -- and the
reliance on power that exists for each step up the

from "simple tests".

Much like me having carrier doesn't tell me the extent of
my "reach", here.
