Re: another newbie, what to do with this Brinks alarm system?

["Roland Moore" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What makes any "small" compamy different from ADT? The list of differences
in small dirt ball low end residential is not much as you point out.
Rather than bash ADT I'll let them continue to do that for and to
themselves. All I can say is that ADT has and continues to generate more new
business for us than any dozen salesman could. I have known of a lot
customers that have positive things to say about their security services
provider. ADT never makes that list. For details as to why give me your
phone number and I'll call you on speaker phone next time I am in front of
the soon to be ex ADT customer so you can hear it first hand. It is not very
exciting however. Most customer provided ADT diatribes sound the same after
the first one or two you hear. To get the exact text of the diatribe go out
some night a find a nest of sleeping hornets and put them in a big zip lock
bag. Next morning vigorously shake the bag and put it to you ear. Sounds
just like the ex ADT customers do.
