www.911Alarm.com and www.Nextalarm.com are both able to monitor your system.
Both charge much less than Monitronics.  911Alarm is a small company that
resells the services of several UL-listed monitoring firms around the country.
NextAlarm is a monitoring company that caters to DIYers and "takeovers"
(situations like yours, where the homeowner has finished his obligation to the
installing firm and wants a more reasonably priced solution).

They'll likely offer you a reduction when you cancel but it won't come close
to what you can save by switching.  NextAlarm charges something like $8 a
month for basic service.  911Alarm charges around $12.  Both charge an
increment for Cellular monitoring but nothing like what you're paying now.
