So, I am downsizing my bills due to my pending retirement from the military next year (hence my Direct TV vs. Dish thread a couple days ago).
Now it was on to my Home Security System. I am currently with ADT and paying the bare minimum (bare minimum service as well). I had a guy from VIVINT stop by and gave me a helluva sales pitch. $2000 worth of equipment installed for $99.00 and $56 a month for their mid-line equipment install. What I didn't like was the 42 month contract. So, I told him stop by tomorrow (which is today) after I do some research on the web. He was pretty adament about getting me to sign the contract right away but I didn't and sent him on his way.
Did some rearch and they are not BBB accredited and have thousands of complaints filed against them with "one pending Gov't action"--whatever that means.
Called ADT and asked what they charged for the same stuff as VIVINT but they were just as expensive with a $300 install fee. Asked them what can you do to help me out? They sent me to the "Loyalty Department" who lowered my bill from $40 to $25 effective immediately. :banana:
So, what home security systems are you using and are you happy? Has anyone heard of VIVINT?
