Frontpoint Home Security review
I've been with Frontpoint for over 4 years. Great customer service. I had my base unit fail twice. The first time it was an antenna component that failed. The second time, the base unit just stopped working. In both instances, Frontpoint shipped a replacement quickly. They even upgraded me for free to new equipment the last time.
