MultiChoice overhauls DStv business packages - 125% effective price hike for sports bars

[Jan]

Triple blow for DStv business packages — including a massive price hike

MultiChoice has announced restructuring its business packages, including price increases that will increase monthly fees by as much as 24%.

Moreover, the changes hit customers with a triple whammy, as DStv now only allows two TVs per subscription — down from three — and stripped popular SuperSport channels from the cheaper packages.

They just don't get it. Their management meetings must be the most disconnected echo chambers in existence.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. Businesses already struggle to cover costs.

Just about time before businesses switch to illegal IPTV channels, if not already.

Dstv and sport are both scams, we are not in the 90’s anymore just cancel both.

Where to get sport content then? SABC?

At least they give you value for money /s

Just don’t watch sport. Go fishing or something .

I'm sorry but I see a 24.something % raise, but not a 125% increase. That's a bit of a difference.

Let's try again.

You had 3 TV's.
One went for a walk.
You have 2 TV's.
But you still pay the same price as for 3 TV's.


So what do you get?

A grant. That's correct. You pay 100% for the grant. And 25% increase.

It's 125% increase.

But that's not all. They also remove sport so you have to jump even further.

You see?

OK I giggled at that one

 

[Toxxyc]

But seriously, it's clickbait and outright wrong. A 24.71% increase is NOT a 125% price hike. That's just plain incorrect, and a false statement to make.

I see a loophole here. Get DSTV premium, Stream on 2 tv's and use the decoder on the other one?

Your question to his post does not make sense, I do not think you comprehend it. Sport is a scam, so why would you want scam?

How much more would it be now to display to 3 TVs or 5/6 TVs?

If your answer is not 24.71% more...

It's based on the feedback from the sports bar owner, hence the "effective".

I have no incentive to clickbait the forum thread titles. It makes zero difference to our bottom-line - directly or indirectly.

Nee man. Even @Pineapple Smurf who is without matric understands this and while being drunk.

Oh..... Is that what effective means.

So it has nothing to do with the increase is to potentially help DSTV to become successful.
