Two weeks into the new price changes for DSTV subscriptions, many customers are unhappy. Some have stopped using their DSTV altogether, while others have switched to cheaper alternatives like SLTV or Startimes.
When Multichoice announced the price increase, people online were angry. They said it was the wrong time for higher prices. Some users said if you have good internet, you can use other services for entertainment and sports, not just DSTV.
One user said there’s not much on DSTV besides football, so why pay more? They said other businesses have raised their prices too, so DSTV is just doing the same.
Another user, Godgrace, who tweeps as @flourishbidex lamented that she had been wasting money on DSTv while SLTV offered the same service at a cheaper rate.
@flourishbidex wrote, “So, these are the channels SLTV offers for just 5k and I have been wasting my money on DStv sub nice one bye bye to DStv.”
Another user, Wealth, who tweeps as @Ola_Wealth001 wrote, “SLTV is the new movement, my people. God pun!sh DStv. All their channels sub na 5kall football channels.
In April, MultiChoice raised prices in Nigeria and other African countries, just four months after the last increase. The new prices started on May 1, 2024. I have already written a comprehensive article on SLTV, you can check here for more details. Let us know what you think in the comment.
