U pay 7,900 a month for the Compact bouquet yet not a single decent channel for western movies. 90% of the channels on offer are useless. Instead they want u to pay 2k extra for showmax and all what not. They should come and carry me na.
I blame the toothless TSTV that raised our hope and then dashed it.

Lol. Imagine using Dstv internet to watch Netflix. Dstv must adapt to the new norm and improve their services or die.

They would just make it very expensive in Nigeria because that is what they know how to do, just getting corrupt profit for them self and neglecting the citizens or Nigeria.. they honour foreigners more than their own brother

What's the point?

COMPETITION is the point..

A good and healthy market thrives on competition and the consumers are the winners at the end of the day.
yeah right

Like there isn't already enough competition already. How many of the current network provider is even willing to give you unlimited internet? You think them coming will change anything? Yinmu.

They give you super fast internet and a shitty bandwidth cap to make it unusable.

I was testing Airtel 4g speed the other day and I was getting 120mb/second consistent speed.

But low and behold, I was given meagre 40gb for the sum 10k

10k is more than 30% of Nigerian minimum wage

There can never be enough competition..

A player can come in and change the landscape of internet and mobile network business in Nigeria and Multichoice has the capability to be that player..

The entry of Glo into the mobile network business,5 years after the others,changed the landscape forever in Nigeria and consumers were better for it..

Cheaper calls,per second billings and cheaper SIMS etc..

And compared to other countries,with the same economic indices,data in Nigeria is not exceptionally costly..

It is not the fault of these Companies that data is 'expensive ' in Nigeria..

You live in this country and you know what is happening..

EVERYTHING is skyrocketing in price..

How then do you expect data to be any different?

When they are operating in the same economic environment..

If only they can replicate same thing here in Nigeria....some of this foreign companies see Nigeria as cash cow, because of bad poor policy and system of government.

That's the way to go now that smart tv is taking over and cable tv could get phased out in the years to come. They actually had internet services in the early 2000s which they called m-web. It was discontinued due to low patronage back then, now is the time to bring it back
NOR VEX, So you still dey active?

Other factors cause the high cost

Cost of running and maintaining a Gen set
Cost of paying off touts
Cost of bribing government officials

When will they do same in naija or will our government ask them to pay 'matching ground' fees?
Re: DSTV Is Now An Internet Provider In South Africa by micflo28(m): 2:37pm On Sep 25, 2021
Please they should do away with their big wide plate dishes and find a way around poor network when it rains.
Re: DSTV Is Now An Internet Provider In South Africa by zoedew: 3:15pm On Sep 25, 2021
Lame TSTV kickstarted this and should have a headstart. Again, it would appear DSTV is set to beat them to it!
Re: DSTV Is Now An Internet Provider In South Africa by starstaz(m): 3:26pm On Sep 25, 2021
Tstv comes straight to my mind.

Sharp guys, smart company. They quickly copy tstv ideas and made it strong, bold and reliable.

Nigeria, the homeland that eliminates intelligence and innovations. Sorry is your friend Tstv.
