The draw back is that Shaw only provides an 8 hour battery pack in their modems. That's 8 hours of storage time - not talk time. If the power goes off, or you have power interuption for any length of the time - your alarm system will not be able to call the monitoring company if you have a break in. The alarm system has enough battery power for quite some time. However, your Shaw line does not.
so if you do have a monitored alarm, then get a battery back up for your phone the size you need, small price to pay to get rid of telus.
