    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

    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.
