    The company we are using at the moment annoys me greatly - it started to phone us with renewal quotes 3 years before our contract was due to end, it even contacted our key holders in order to persuade them to signup...

    With the contract ending early next year I'm thinking of switching to another home alarm monitoring company. I would be grateful for help in finding some reviews of such companies. Also I'd like to heard your recommendations for any reliable and reasonably priced companies, as well as your experiences.

    I've never had a monitored alarm at home, but for business I have used Stanely Security and ADT - both of which have been absolutely fine.

        Sorry, can't help you. :noidea: We have a local company that services our alarm and provides the monitoring by another local company at the same price that we can get directly with them.
