Honestly, I think the internet/data is the least affected during electricity issues. These systems have massive government supported backup systems. I think you are more likely to run out of battery/electricity. Then, if the internet actually fails for a long time there will be some moving USB sticks of stuff like wikipedia and maps. Like in Cuba. These days you can transport petabytes of MicroSD per hour with a bicycle, if you want. Assuming it is that bad, I would more likely buy a survival guide, some do it yourself books and paper maps.

I don't see myself browsing through local files on a computer while internet is down, I expect to resort to books and daylight instead.
