burglars will cut your internet connection to the outside How, exactly? OK, so the question is a little facetious, but most burglars won't know (or even know to consider) that they should cut a particular cable before breaking in. In many installations, that cable won't necessarily be visible/reachable: want to climb a telephone pole to cut what's hopefully an ADSL cable and not a mains electricity cable? Without anyone noticing you? Some users may also use a backup 3G/4G data connection, hook the alarm up to a UPS, and in some cases of monitored alarm systems, a data outage is in itself an alertable/respondable alarm. Your degree (and expenditure) of defense will very much depend on your perceived threat profile, but for the most part, a burglar cutting your internet connection isn't high on the threat list.
