Why not? To everything downstream from the modem, the service looks exactly
like a regular telephone service.

Because it is VoIP service. The tones that are generated by ContactID
and SIA (alarm transmission protocols) are in a frequency range that
VoIP can sometimes not reproduce faithfully. The VoIP is designed for
voice transmission. We're running into the same problem with services
like Vonage too.
