Contracts Contracts Contracts

Terrible customer service. They don't tell you that you are signing a 3 year contract (didn't read the mouse print on the reciept). The equipment doesn't work well, days between request for service and technician coming. I had to unplug my service for almost a week to wait for…

Brinks is Totally ineffective

I was looking at a Brinks Review and came across one which says that the system is slow. It seems Brinks is totally ineffective as a home alarm. Is it true? Have you had any such experiences?

I have been dealing with Protectron for 3 years and have been having nothing but problems for 3 years. The first technician showed up on the wrong day and could hardly speak a word of English. They installed the wrong motion sensors 3 times before admitting that my dog…

Poor Customer Service

Your service is pitiful and virtually non-existent. It has taken about one month for you to respond to our need for new batteries that are only 6 months old and you still cannot reset and prove our home system. We are contemplating cancelling your so-called service.

Terrible Company!

I agree with the previous post! Absolutely terrible customer service! Calling Customer Service to cancel account, transferred about 5 times, twice without even being told I was being transferred – by the Customer Service Dept themselves – how is that for 'service'? I'm mid-sentence and suddenly listening to hold…

ADT does’nt call back

The worst customer service in the world. We've been a customer for years and after talking with friends did we realize that we were paying a 20% premium for this horrible service. Call anyone else…please.
