Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!
First of all Startimes has always proclaimed to operate pay-as-you-go bouquet but try to pay for it on any of their payment platforms INCLUDING their offices and their operatives will tell you it is impossible except you pay for the complete one month.
I am saying this because I once tried to pay for ONLY one week because of the Europa league matches and was told by a Startimes customer care operative that it was IMPOSSIBLE. I ended up subscribing for a month.

The second issue I have with Startimes is the payment for a bouquet can ONLY be made at their registered office or at the premises of their registered agents. You can not pay with your bank application!

Thirdly Startimes have subtly increased their fees like Dstv but with extremely POOR content masquraded it behind a non existent pay as you go bouquet.

And before anybody comes at me I wish to state that I subscribe to both Dstv and Startimes and I regard both platforms as cheating blood sucking platforms that do NOT provide subscribers with what they promise in any way!

Bash92:
I hope this is true.

Because there was no where in the write up that the Startime representative made mention of PAY AS YOU GO. It was only the guardian reporter saying he said, without quoting is word for us on pay as you go.

Edit: There pay as you go is actually a daily subscription. So if you dont watch on a particular day, you will not be charged, still better than nothing

AKzee:
As long as there's no premier league and la liga, they are still not good enough. DSTV did increase their subscriptions and we are fighting them, only for startimes to start doing it. Rubbish.

adenigga:


Don't you know that DStv represent South Africa in camouflage of xenophobia in our soil.

They are known as Telephobia, bullying and reaping us off all in the name of broadcasting premier league games.

That's a good innovation, I'll stick with my antenna, I no deh pay, if na football, I go watch am for NL frontpage
Btw, Thunder fire Dstv

jacoik:
please bro if I understand what I read, is it that if you subscribe for one month and no light or you didn't watch it for that one month, your sub go still dey for you without them cutting it?

Shut up you Tribalist

levi2:
I thought DSTV said pay-as-you-go was impossible to implement....Always thought �� those guys(DSTV)were thieves...

Psylas2:



DSTV can't compete with StarTimes.

StarStimes is owned by Chinese and they are experienced with the tech.
They are one of the best in Asia.

They will kick Multichoice out

Doyou2019:


Finally someone who sees through the shenanigans. Startimes think they can run BS past us, but na lie. Both companies are just bloody capitalists, only difference is that DSTV has better content.

kissGuys:
i wonder how startimes and covid-19 take relate...


Nah people like you dey makes NCDC see us as fools... Once you have any related symptoms.. They add you to the number without being properly checked..

We know their is corona.. But let naija be transparent about it.. Not videos of people eating chicken and dancing up and down in the supposed isolation center... We need clarity... Pictures of those that died.. The real infected ones.. And the whole testing process.. That will work more on people's behavioral change.. Not some bull-crab set of numbers daily.

They should not be compelled. if you dont like DSTv simply switch to FG owned Star Times.

let Star Times get EPL without funds from FG and see if they won't be as expensive as DSTV

Stellly02:
first of all, you were actually right when you said the option of PAYG has been on for sometime now, its just that not everyone knows about it..
And I can say with full confidence that the one day plan actually works It just depends on the platform you use
Perhaps the agents you met to help recharge were dealers and were unaware because they didn't try, you can only give what you have, you don't say what you aren't sure about..

Use the Startimes ON app and you'd be able to make your daily/weekly/monthly recharge, the app is available on playstore/appstore
First bank and Fcmb also has that option as I use both banks

You can also use www.quickteller/Startimes

If you use GT: *737*37*amount*Smartcard#


About the increment in fees, I only know that laliga would be shown on Startimes from next season which is the new content I'm anticipating as I don't watch other contents

I think there's room for improvement tho

A trial will convince you. I paid through my UBA app and my payment hooked. I now visited the Startimes app page where I saw series of lamentations of people who made the same mistake.
In fact when I visited the Startimes office in Port Harcourt,the customer care lady I met warned me against doing such but rather advised I always pay at the office or through a dealer. After paying for the 3800 bouquet I had to go back to UBA to write a letter for retrieval of funds. It took three weeks.

Wait until you become a victim, then we will have your pictures and video on all media channels in Nigeria. I guess you will like that. About two days ago, the list of important people who have died of Covid-19 was posted here. This is a society where stigmatisation is the order of the day, yet you want the pictures and videos of suffering and dying victims to be splashed on your TV screen everyday before you can borrow and apply common sense. You will be alright soon.
