Re: So why is it good

In no particular order:
-Potential for obcene speeds if the telcos wanted to in the future.
-Expansion into the "CATV" market - competition is always good
-Faster immediate speeds then are available to most via DSL
-No more "your loop length is too long" excuses
-Cheaper for the telco to operate in the long run(excluding initial roll-out costs)
-Allows telcos to eventually phase out expensive, aging analog POTS equipment.
-In some cases will replace decades old infrastructure that badly needed replaced anyways
-Potential phone line quality improvement

The advantages do come at a cost though. The disadvantages are:
-Cuts the competition out of the picture as the ILEC doesn't have to share the line with CLECs (telco advantage)
-Power requirement for the ONT - BBU/UPS don't last forever when running off of the battery.

Here is a detailed picture of that battery. Does the red LED mean that the battery is bad? Or something is screwed up?

According to the user manual, it means the battery is not connected or it has a fault. Check and make sure it's plugged incorrectly.

Most likely a ground fault warning (or the battery is dead). You can test the battery by yanking the power cord out and seeing if your system goes down. I am not an electrician but I would take a ground fault warning seriously and get it fixed.
