Does VoIP Break Home Security?

There is an ongoing story that consumer VoIP services can cause your home security alarm system to malfunction or not work at all. A news article brought up the problem with customer phone systems in Canada who were using Primus but Vonage customers in the U.S have complained too. And a number of sites have popped up offering suggestions to help deal with the problem. The situation isn’t all that surprising as the nature of VoIP has left other emergency services wanting – for example, e911.

This is more of a “should I get VoIP” argument, but a few good points are made. Something needs to be done to make sure a VoIP line can be implemented without any other adverse results.
