Go local for monitoring

What's you logic behind this? If it is simply to support a local business, I fully agree. However I don't think it nationally owned company is going to have any different response than a local one. In fact maybe a larger company would have a better response.

My phone will call just as fast down the street as it will across the country. In fact, I use a local company for my monitoring only because the I know the owner and we have worked together on some other projects. With that said every time I have an issue with my house where the power goes out or something else I get a phone call from a number that is not within my area code. I've never asked him where his monitoring is located but it is a shared monitoring service.
