Is there a UPS for Broadband Modem.

Is there a domestic Uninterrupted Power Supply that will keep the telephone and broadband modem working during a power cut ensuring that the House alarm continues to be monitored.

If there was a power outage it'd be likely that the power would be out at the node as well. Assume you're talking UPC

So using VOIP or similar via the modem?

You would be better off looking at a second separate comms path.
If you tell us more about the set up we could advise you better.
