[BBLISA] Internet service and power outages?

A thought that recently came to mind (uh, oh!)-
Cable companies use telephone pole-based powerline-powered amplifiers, yes? If
so, if power to my area goes out, even if I have a UPS at home, all
coax-offered services should disappear, correct?
Now, DSL is phone-line offered. If the central office has its own power
source, and I have mine, if power did go out, I should still have uninterrupted
Internet service unless/until my UPS dies. Yes or no?
Just trying to see how logical and realistic this thought is.
