To ADT you are nothing but a source of monthly income for a set period of time. The system is paid for within the first few months and the rest is the "GOTTCHA" that you pay is for nothing. They're in the recurring revenue business, not security. With all the money that you paid to them over the term of the contract .... you could have bought a system two to three times as good and with better and more personal service.

Jim,

Very well said.
However I doubt the OP will totally understand.

About 5 years ago I was once asked by ADT if I would
be interested in providing sub work for them
in servicing their customers.

I said;
"You want me to provide my excellent service to
make ADT look good?? Are you nuts??"

To which the rep said;
"Well after the 1st year, we don't want to service
them any more, so we look to outside resources.
Also there is a lot of money to made doing this for us."

I laughed and told him to "Have a nice day."
