Multichoice Nigeria, owners of DSTV, have increased their access tariffs again. The company has introduced new subscription charges, citing increases in the company’s operational and ancillary costs which include, content acquisition and development, technical infrastructure, satellite lease, facilities and maintenance.

The new tariffs are: DStv Family, from N2, 800 to N3, 000; DStv Compact, from N4, 800 to N5, 000; DStv Compact Plus, from N7, 000 to N7, 500 and DStv Premium, from N10, 000 to N11, 000.

Managing Director of MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe said, “We are mindful of the current economic challenges and the impact on the purchasing power given the myriad of competing needs. As a family-oriented company, we have proposed this deal aimed at creating a WIN-WIN situation that ensures that this increase has no negative impact on our subscribers who take up our offer. Our esteemed subscribers will have an opportunity to pay less than they were previously paying.”

Ugbe said for subscribers who take advantage of the special offer, the 10 per cent discount translates to N1,350 from N1,500 (N150 less than the new rate) for DStv Access; N2,700 from N3, 000 (N300 less than the new rate) for DStv Family; N4, 500 from N5, 000 (N500 less than the new rate) for DStv Compact; N6,750 from N7, 500 (N750 less than new rate) for DStv Compact Plus; and N9, 900 from N11, 000 (N1,100 less than the new rate) for the DStv Premium.

How did you do it ?

When there is no competition? What do you expect?

See the people wey dey spoil naija

No wahala.... As it still covers my internet cost.

pls landers,who knows about the metro digital television that shows all live football via an arab tv station?,pls i want the cost of purchasing their decoder and their diffrent tarrifs .thanks

use your "PM" to discuss with him or do you expect him to yarn that type of thing "so openly"?


BTW, DSTV is not food, therefore, its not a must and there are alternatives you can explore...like above.

Ok...next please

I don't understand... what is the special package they are talking about in the second paragraph. But I think it is high time consumers cried out. I pity Nigerians.

What happened to HITV?

SIGNS OF MONOPOLISTIC MARKET

Abi Multi-chioce dey mad ni ?,another increment,this people need to be called to order,more over there are no strong competitor . *spits*!!!.

These guys are mad, wot nonsense, they keep repeating 1 film for a month they are still increasing their tariff, STAR TIMES is a beta choice

i think they increased it cos of the football leagues coming up soon bt most of the plans do not have "realtime" football channels.nawooo.......South Africa milking us dry

Increment again? I guess they are warming up for the new premier league season . In naija,anything can happen.

still waitin for an answer

Billyonaire: How did you do it ?

There is a chip in the decoder which when soldered out, and read with a device on a computer enables you to rewrite some codes in the chip. that chip is responsible for reading the tariff information of your smart card. Once you rewrite, put in your smart card even without a subsription and you are live!

im not suprise, Dstv spent about 100 million dollars(16 billion naira), to acquire the the rights to show english premier league,and african magic which is show nollywood movies,always pay the owners of the movies.

Youngk: still waitin for an answer

try Aljazeera sports, but they don't show EPL. Abu Dhabi sports & DSTV have EPL

RUNDOWN
