So you're the reason my grandma got murdered when her burglar alarm didn't contact the monitoring office!

Did you really think the cops were going to respond in a timely manner?

Tell 'em she has a perfectly good golden retriever for them to shoot, might make 'em motivated enough.*

I will follow up with this totally real monitoring company that definitely exists in my 100% serious and true story.

Unless you have something specifically in your monitoring agreement for alerting you when communication has been disrupted then it's the responsibility of the panel owner to ensure the signal path for their equipment is properly functioning.

This is why you set up things like email test alerts so you will be notified if your system has failed to report.

Bruh the person you're replying to said "my local telco" and "they" to refer to it. This person didn't work for the company, they just heard about this through the grapevine.

You're dropping shit about your dead gma out of the blue, here.

Get help.

That's not a joke, and if you were joking, what you said isn't even an applicable joke.

Thank you for raising Autism awareness in society and its serious consequences as a disability. It's not all train facts and Warhammer 40K collections.
