DStv Pricing in 2002?

[rpm]

We are looking for DStv and M-Net pricing in 2002.

MultiChoice said they do nit have that information any longer. It will be great if you can help us to get this info...

 

[BLIXEMPIE]

I recall it being R380pm in 2003 for DStv. Back then there was only a single package.

 

[DJ...]

Multichoice claim to not have that knowledge within their entire company? So they're equally clueless in all tenses - the past, the present and the future...

 

[Lupus]

Remember it being roughly R480 in 2008 if that helps

 

[MickeyD]

will look for it when I get home.

:wtf:

They don't? They should definitely have it... how else will they calculate growth, product growth, statistics, ......
It's not that hard keeping information of that sort

You have got to be kidding me!

 

[ToxicBunny]

Multichoice are lying through their teeth....

They have that data... they just don't want to give it to you guys cos it'll be scary as hell...

Thanks for the feedback so far. If anyone has the 2002 cost it will be great,

This is worth Gold - thanks MickeyD. I looked everywhere (even Naspers results) - was nowhere to be found.

I checked my old bank statements and DSTV accounts... much to my wife's irritation! When she leaves the room I'll dig deeper into my boxes of accounts.

Their ooooold site is still up and running and has some pricing on it - http://qa2.dstv.com/get-dstv/default.asp?Page=read&id=18

 

[KleinBoontjie]

Big company like them will have a Data Wharehouse somewhere. They don't know what the 2002 pricing was, but I bet you they will know people who still owes them money from 2002

:wtf:

Maja says when DStv was launched in 1995, the entertainment platform offered 19 channels and customers paid R5 999 for a decoder.

R5999 for a plain vanilla decoder - surely that can't be right?

100% correct.

I had a 24 month contract in 1998 for R243 p/m for the "equipment". That was the last contract I ever signed!!

Yussie old toppie....

You must have been desperate for decent entertainment to occupy your kids then

 

[KromozIII]

I paid somewhere in the R5000 range for the equipment when it started. Got the Panasat 510 decoder (which had to be swopped when they moved to PAS/IS7) and a 95cm dish.
I did not care ... I was getting the SciFi channel!
