Re: Ranger American yahoos.

Thanks!
Looks like they offer more where you are. Where are you? If you don't wanna
post that just be general.

Thanks,

| In my area they only use that huge dsc home wiring unit and it always goes
| in the master bdrm closet.
|
| They always wire every opening,
| There is always a wire in the living room wall for a motion.
| They do wire the catv outlets, they do wire a cat5 jack in most every room
| and they homerun everything back to the home wiring unit.
|
| Often times they run wires for additional speakers in the living rm
ceiling.
|
| They wire all the telephone jacks.
| They only use the dsc 1555's created for them.so you can't change the
| default adt installer code. They are adt's biggest dealer.
|
| Usually the jobs are done right and well but that will vary by area.
|
| They often do upgrade their systems in new homes but its always a
'package'
| type upgrade.
|
| The basic pack includes the prewire and trim out.
| Upgrade can include:
| The telco wiring & jacks.
| The catv wiring & jacks.
| The cat5 wiring & jacks.
| Two satellite dish drops is an upgrade.- not included in catv wiring &
| jacks.
| The additional ceiling speakers.
| I have seen them add an additional motion sensor in front entry if there
is
| a lot of large glass openings.
| Never seen them install a glass break although they do offer it as an
| option.
|
| I see their sales van full salesmen at least once a week going to visit in
| my area.
|
| They contact home buyers as soon as builder tells them somebody has
| purchased the home being built and they offer all the other wiring
options.
|
| In some subdivisions the builder pays for the whole shebang for each home
| and just adds it into the price but many times RA meets with each client
| while construction is going on and upsells changes. Often they call
| customers every week to remind them they are taking care of stuff even
| though customers tell them they don't want their service. They are real
| pests but of course this is why they are so successful.
