You are even more sick than DS TV.

Did you think before you wrote this? Assuming each home do an average of 8hrs for other programs per day:
That will be - 43 x 8 x 30 = ₦10,320

Add that to your suggestions of ₦4,000 flat monthly charge = ₦14,320

By the time you add the bill for life programs and others, would one not pass that current charge for compact bouquet (₦19, 000).

Are you okay?

How did you come about your charges, especially the flat rate of ₦4, 000
Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by Nobody: 9:42pm On Jun 25, 2025
Doctor, why should you be watching TV for 8 hours everyday of the month? Don't you have a job?
You can ask ifá how I came about the ₦4000/month access fee.

Your suggestion is okay, leave that guy, he might be a DStv Agent

You see why I assumed that your opinion is sick.

An average home that has functional DS TV is a family, with wife and kids and helps or workers or family members. The husband and wife may go to work but kids will watch the dstv when they come home from school. When they are on holiday, they will probably watch all day. You can't really control that or prevent them.

You are thinking like a bachelor who lives alone with no dependant and doesn't stay at home regularly.

When making rate suggestion, you should be holistic.

I've predicted it here that Multichoice won't survive what is coming.. that greed and extortion of Nigerians they have enjoyed for so long will be their undoing.
Place Nigerians on "pay as you go", they said NO.. the competitors that wanted to do "pay as you go" they frustrated all of them.

Nigerians are finally saying "enough is enough".

Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by nifemi25(m): 10:47pm On Jun 25, 2025
Honestly I can't remember the last time I subscribed to my gotv.. the decoder has been removed from my parlour to the store where I kept it... I cant keep paying those outrageous prices.
Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by Nobody: 11:22pm On Jun 25, 2025
and the kids will watch tv for 8 hours after school everyday of the month? and what gives you the impression that the family model you describe cannot pay the current rate for premium bouquet? you are the one with a sick opinion.

Reality check is on you:

If families and homes can comfortably pay the premium. Bouquet, why are we complaining about DSTV rates?

Why did you come up with this topic if most or all families can afford compact bouquet and more expensive bouquets?

You obviously don't have kids and dependants living with you, that is the reason you think your pricing estimate is better. You are only responsible for yourself, alone.

Leave the guy. He doesn't have a TV, not to talk of a DSTV decoder. From what he's been saying so far, I'm not even sure he has electricity

No advise will save them now. They got greedy and failed to adjust with the times.
Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by Nobody: 8:46am On Jun 26, 2025
Some Nigerians want pay as you go satellite TV that will be 50 kobo per hour. As if the data they use for streaming is free. If you like don't put your habits in check. Clowns.
Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by Nobody: 8:49am On Jun 26, 2025
Go and buy an antenna and tune into your local state broadcaster. Government has made that free for poor people like you.

Learn to take a pinch - correction.

As poor as you claim that I am, I can still afford to feed you.

It seems you are for DSTV and their outrageous billing: are you a front for them?
Re: 1.8 Million Customer Loss: My Advice To Multichoice by Nobody: 11:48pm On Jun 26, 2025
Wallade, read the title of the thread. My advice is for multichoice and not for empty barrels. Typical Nigerians will steal electricity by bypassing meters and still complain about epileptic power. How do you expect businesses to survive when people consume their services for free? So feed your mother first. Remember to add a pinch of salt to her food.

I was gonna feed you as well since you assume that I am so poor to the extent that I can't afford to subscribe to DSTV.

You are also the one making so much noise on the platform about DSTV rates so much that you are proposing a ridiculous rate that you can't justify or explain how you determined it.
So you are the empty barrel.

It is okay to be critical of people's opinion here but if you are so pained about me being critical about your opinion then keep your opinion to yourself or share it with DSTV only.
