Hi Armando, I didn’t see your comment earlier. The deal with ADT is that they only work through resellers and the price will depend on the reseller that you choose. For example, in our reviews we specifically researched Protect Your Home which is one of their biggest resellers (if not the biggest one) and thus offers very competitive pricing. If you choose to cancel with your current reseller your information will still be in the ADT systems and the next reseller you apply with might decline you because of the cancellation. On the other hand, there are plenty of other companies on the market so you could eventually get a much better deal with someone else. Please let us know what you decided and how everything played out for you!
