Security Guards, Alarm Companies Object to Australia's National Fiber Network
natecochrane writes "Australia's proposed high-speed National Broadband Network has put the fate of more than a million security alarm systems that alert Australians to fire, home invasion, break-in and medical emergency in limbo pending the building of a simulated test bed next year. A group that represents security guards and those that supply monitored alarms has concerns that ranged from the inconvenient ('angry customers woken by their alarm systems beeping' during a nightly NBN upgrade) to life-threatening in the case of medical alarms, its CEO said. 'Under the fibre-optic system there won't be that redundancy and backup [from the copper phone system]. So if it goes down no one will know,' ASIAL CEO Bryan de Caires said."

If new technology does not gel well with the existing frameworks then it is not worthy
>>>More to the point the copper network is noisy as hell.
You mean it WAS noisy as hell, until they upgraded from analog to digital. Now it's as clear as a CD (albeit 8-bit not 16). Clear enough that we now use digital rather than analog modems. Please update yourself on the latest phone technologies.
