MultiChoice announced that it will increase the subscription fees of most DStv bouquets – Premium, Extra, Compact, Family, Select – on 1 April 2014.
From April 2014 DStv Premium subscribers will pay R665 per month, up from the current R625 per month.
DStv Extra subscribers will pay R399 per month (up from R380 per month) and DStv Compact users will pay R295 instead of R275 per month.
This is an annual price increase, and the price adjustment is typically in line with inflation figures.
