DSTV INCREASES SUBSCRIPTION FEE. IS DSTV RIPPING NIGERIANS OFF??

DSTV just published on their facebook page their intention to increase their subscription fee and they are throwing in a WIN-WIN offer which is that any subscriber that pays his or her own subscription fee expires will get 10% discount. Please see the new rates below as well as the WIN-WIN offer

The new subscription fees taking effect from September 1 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
• DStv Premium, from N10, 000 to N11, 000

There is however no increase in the prices of DStv Access which remains at N1, 500, while the Dual View Access fees and the access fee for HDPVR both remain at N1, 800.

Empathetic to the impact this increase may have on our subscribers, we will be offering a 10% special off the new subscription rates to interested subscribers who make payments before their subscription expires as part of a special offer which comes into effect from October 1. This implies that each month a subscriber pays ahead of the service expiration, they get a 10% rebate on the subsequent month’s payment and this continues as long as the circle is unbroken. 

For subscribers who take advantage of the special offer, the 10% 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
• N9, 900 from N11, 000 (N1,100 less than the new rate) for the DStv Premium
