DStv versus Netflix

Streaming = what I want, when I want it.
 
I can get both Netflix and ShowMax for a quarter of the price of DSTV. The sports offering is simply not enough any more.
 
Meanwhile in reality. The cost of broadband and the monopoly on sports is actually what keep people on DSTV. I moved over 4 months ago and can say I really do not miss DSTV at all.
 
So Kevin, how can you make the following statement without knowing how many users there are for Netflix?

Online streaming services like Netflix and ShowMax are enjoying strong growth in South Africa, but they are far behind MultiChoice’s DStv subscriber numbers.
 
We are usually not allowed to comment on sponsored articles. I classify this under click-/comment baiting.

These do not work in DSTV/MNET's favour by the looks of it. Wrong target audience here, us tech-savvy people.:twisted:
 
MultiChoice explains why many people prefer DStv

How many is many ?

And how many of those don't have the option of streaming because of cost, bandwidth etc ?

Nobody in there right mind would choose DSTV over streaming - sports excluded ( which is the real reason some stick with DSTV. )
 
“We hold extensive content deals with a number of international suppliers, which enables us to deliver exclusive international entertainment first to our customers, across multiple platforms.”

You mean "We block Netflix from showing any content that people want to watch"

People don't stay with DSTV because they want to, they stay because they forced to.
