call them and tell them to close the account. Bingo! Back down to
$17 a month again! My neighbors are paying $28 to the same company.

Remember, monitoring an alarm costs almost nothing, my $17 is better
than zero, or at least _they_ think so! G

Sounds like AT&T when I cancelled my cell phone account. They wouldn't give me
what I wanted as a roaming area, so I dropped it. After I dropped it, they
offered what I wanted, but by that time I realized I had just gotten rid of one
more electronic PITA that I had no real need for.
