Outrage As Multi-Choice Makes Tariff Hike On DSTV

It's HIGHLY insensitive of @DStvNg to announce a pay hike (starting June 1) in the middle of a pandemic that has left many of us broke.

While lots of companies have been financially battered for the past six weeks, @DStv is one of the few that have gained from increased…

These people provide their own power, water, security, education etc after paying taxes, yet they never pressure their government.

All it takes is a price increase from DStv and the spirit of Bastille will fall upon them.

Rank idiots.

Everytime DSTV up and down and I’m sick of it. You think content business is cheap? Run one and see now ….if you don’t like kindly unsubscribe by the time they’ve lost customers na dem go use their own hand reduce price to attract or increase value by content category. Bye

Just so you know,
DSTV Nigeria has decided that you all will pay more for the same dstv package in the next 3weeks.

There’s a court order telling them not to raise prices. But they have sneaked in this price increase so you won’t notice.

RT to call @fccpcnigeria to STOP this.

Irrespective of this pandemic DSTV has the heart to increase subscription rate

My pain is that the 7.5% VAT increase on Dstv subscription is highly proportional to increase per PL match in viewing centers pic.twitter.com/c9j9Gjwj9v

I remember when @DStvNg increased their subscription rate, @fccpcnigeria took them to court and got an order compelling them to revert to the old rate, but it was never effected and nothing happened. Now, DSTV has rolled out another increase effective June 1. What will happen?

I had actually thought they will allow a month free subscription atleast for a class of their users, but NO.
this VAT application that has been on for a while, is it not what they've been paying. Increased patronage will increase revenue rather than increased fees. #Competition

This isn't reasonable at all, some people can't even afford a meal per day in this period. Instead of increasing the price of subscription, why not slash it by 50%. At least @DStvNg @DStvNgCare @DStvNgQA should be able to give back to the society and make Nigerians happy for once

Unbelievable! Everyone is finding a way to support the country during this covid-19 pandemic. All dstv can do is to send me a mail informing me that effective from June 1 there will be 7.5% vat on all dstv services. Tragic!@DStvNg
