Yes, though "days" is hyperbole. 2-3 hours would be the max, even if it were a single home. If many homes are out, the ISPs make it a high priority (or lose customers to providers that do).
Anecdotally, a few months ago, there was a transformer-caused fire a couple of blocks from my home that burned a telephone pole, disrupting power & internet service to a few city blocks of single-family homes. Crews were re-routing power as soon as the fire was out, and the ISP crew worked through the night to replace the pole and restore internet service.
