My router has a 5G backup connection and a battery. Light could be out and I'd still have internet. So, yeah, it's possible :P

But if the power goes out isn't the stuff from your ISP/mobile carrier out too?

Nah, cell towers often have some kind of backup power good for a couple hours or more, at least in the city where I am. I think I once had an outage last 3 days when a tornado wrecked the local transformer station, and still had cell service the entire time.
