DStv's Internet a winning recipe for MultiChoice

DStv Internet a winner

DStv's Internet packages have proven to be a winning recipe for the broadcaster, with substantial growth in customers and revenue three years after launching.

DStv Internet first rolled out in September 2021, offering several fixed-LTE plans with large amounts of data that could be bundled with streaming-only DStv bouquets.

Canal+ doesn't like it so it's gonna die, done.

Substantial growth means they went from 100 to 200 subscribers.

Strangely no mention of speeds seen there except what the routers are capable of. No mention of it in Hanno's article either..
(All LTE based.)

And in most cases, half the data is day time only and the other half night time only.

In most other countries this would be bundled with the satellite TV for free....

Yes, but you get 20GB Anytime Data as a bonus when you sign up

I anticipate an article about the quiet shutdown of DSTV Internet soon.

Wait.
An article about how well MultiChoice is doing instead of them bitching about something?
Very confused.

Very true. Some offer even 1-3 mobile devices as well. I don't know how much coverage of 4G or 5G is in SA. Some European countries either have 99.9% 4G coverage or 80% 5G coverage.

You didn't see last week's article on the disappearance of anything to do with internet on the DSTV website

DStv kills fibre packages

MultiChoice has quietly killed its DStv Internet fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) products, including bundled offers that combined Premium or Compact subscriptions with a fibre package at a significant discount.
