Got a Free Alarm System

| Comments

W00t for FirstLine. They want to take business from ADT. Which is fine with me, as ADT sucked much. Their “service plan” really wasnt much of one at all. Labor costs: $75 for the first 30 minutes, $20 for each additional 15 minutes!!!1one!1!!ELevEn. I mean come on. This is ridiculous.

They wanted to make our house and advertisement house, which means we got a special rate and such. In return we put a little lighted sign out in the yard and put stickers on the windows.

The alarm system is cellular and wireless. So if we didn’t need a frikin phone line for the Internet connection (which we don’t because it’s fiber optic directly to the house. We’re being forced into an archaic system by the evil phone company. But that’s a rant for another time…) We’d just have the alarm and the internet. Not that the phone line is hooked to an actual phone anyway, since we just get telemarketer calls. Perhaps when I have lots more money I’ll do the asterisk thing, which might be fun :D
