I AM A FORMER MARINE AND USE ADT FOR INSURANCE AND A SAVINGS ACCOUNT. I JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL OFFERING ADT HOME SECURITY. I HAD AN ALARM COMPANY BACK IN THE LATE 90s AND SOLD IT TO ADT. THEY MADE ME THE AREA MANAGER BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE AN OFFICE IN WEST TEXAS. I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY THAT ADT'S NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS MONEY AND NUMBERS. IT IS A TERRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK AT AND BE A CUSTOMER OF. THEY HAVE HEAVY GOALS FOR THEIR SALES PEOPLE AND EVENTUALLY RUN ALL THEIR TECHNICIANS OFF BY TREATING THEM LIKE DIRT AND MICROMANAGING THEM. SINCE I LEFT THERE 20 YEARS AGO, THEY HAVE HAD PROBABLY 200 - 300 PERCENT TURNOVER. NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF KIDS WORKING IN THE LUBBOCK OFFICE. READ REAL REVIEWS FROM TRUST PILOT, REDDIT AND BBB. DONT LOOK AT THE REVIEWS FROM PC MAG AND SECURITY.ORG WHERE ADT PAYS FOR ADVERTISING. I HAVE MY OWN ALARM COMPANY AGAIN NOW AND ADT IS ON OF MY BEST SALES PEOPLE. I HAVE QUITE A FEW OF THEIR OLD CUSTOMERS.
I recently discontinued ADT services. My alarm monitoring fees were reduced by about 60% with the new company. When I called ADT to cancel, they offered me "promotional" rates to stay with their service. It appears they gradually increase the fees for their long-time customers. It appears long-standing customers may be subsidizing the lower rates paid by new customers.
In addition, ADT billed us for 30 days of service after the date I called to terminate, even thought they are providing no services to us over those 30 days. This hardly seems fair.
I'd suggest anyone who leaves ADT coordinate the departure so their service ends slightly before or with the last day of their billing cycle. I'd also suggest seriously shopping around for monitoring services. Most people should be able to find much less expensive alternatives to ADT.
