Actually in a properly setup mesh network you DON'T need service to your house. You just need to be within distance of the next node that can pass your packets along.

So, the scenario is, when you main wire is cut, your router has different firm in place when lets it talk to your neighbor's router which talks to his neighbor's router which talks to a packet radio router. And that lets everyone's packets go everywhere?
Slow but it seems possible.
The problem I'd see is a government aiming for control would clamp down on the international packet radios immediately and not wait till it want to shut off the net.
Still might be worth a try.
Even if they manage to clamp down on all international access nodes, it'll still be very useful as a local communication/coordination network.
