I'm in the market for an alarm system and was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to the best and fastest responding monitoring station?
I know all the security companies like to hype up their product offerings, but without a solid monitoring station to back them up, they're not helping anyone.

I think most of the monitoring stations in use are reliable. Honestly, I would focus more on the actual system that's installed. If your system can't communicate with the monitoring station, they'll never hear your "cry for help"...
In my opinion, not all monitoring services are the same. Speed of response and operator professionalism does vary. Personally i have had very positive experiences with Criticom (CMS) Central Station. They are typically fast, professional and friendly, traits I found lacking in some other national companies.
I recommend that you find a professional, licensed security dealer in your area and use the monitoring service they offer.
