HALIFAX – After being the first Canadian cable company to enter the telephone market, Eastlink is taking its whole home experience to the next level by offering a 24/7 home security service starting at $20 a month,

"We're committed to providing our customers with the best whole home experience out there," says Eastlink president and COO Deborah Shaffner. "Now, that commitment extends beyond traditional telecommunications services. We consider home security a natural extension of the integrated services we currently offer and another step towards achieving the fully-connected household."

Eastlink Home Security provides customers with customized alarm systems, professional 24/7 accredited monitoring, and is currently available to residents of Halifax, Nova Scotia and selected surrounding areas.

Eastlink says current customers can benefit from VIP discounts like free installation by bundling home security with their current Eastlink services, and can also take advantage of additional value including a reduced monitoring services cost.

The security service announcement follows the company’s news last week that it’s launching an  extension of its technical support services that provides customers with  technical expertise for all the computers and electronic devices in their homes including tablets, laptops, game consoles, smartphones, digital cameras, PCs etc.
