ADT
Hi Everyone, been a long time lurker and I’ve learned a lot from you all. I’ve tried to search these threads here and still don’t get a sense of the vitriol towards ADT. I’ve tried to do a cost comparison between home monitored to finding local monitoring companies and I guess I’ve just come to that conclusion that a person would almost pay an extra premium to “subcontract” out their home monitoring. My monthly with ADT after discounts is $41 for the life of the 36 month contract. The closest I’ve found locally and “cheapest” is $36 but doesn’t have the redundancy or the features I’ve signed for. Is there something I’m missing from ADT that makes them a bad partner in this? I’ve also known folks that have had ADT for well over a decade in the neighborhood and they don’t blink and they pay way more than I do. I’m just trying to look for clarification so I know what to look for. All I see is “ADT sucks” but never goes to elaborate. For the DIY crowd is your home service as comparable to the response/performance of ADT?
