The fallacy, of course, is that anything between you and where you
want to "go" that is NOT powered limits your reach.

 I couldn't test, my own UPS failed too soon.

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
ladder -- it would be hard to generalize your capabilities
from "simple tests".
Much like me having carrier doesn't tell me the extent of
my "reach", here.
