first rolled out<\/a> in September 2021, offering several fixed-LTE plans with large amounts of data that could be bundled with streaming-only DStv bouquets.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe company said the move was to diversify its offering as part of MultiChoice’s ongoing evolution from a traditional video entertainment business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MultiChoice reported that its DStv Internet subscriber base had doubled year over year and that its revenues had increased 71%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This adds to the continued growth of the offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service’s active subscriber base grew by more than 400% in its first six months. However, this type of jump should be expected in a product’s early launch period, where its increases are coming off a low base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By March 2023, active users had increased by another 447%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A year later, the number of DStv Internet customers grew by a more modest but substantial 90%. MultiChoice reported the service’s revenue had increased by 160% over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MultiChoice South Africa CEO Marc Jury previously explained that the appeal of the DStv Internet product was its simplicity and association with the trusted DStv brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“South Africans are looking for flexible, no-fuss internet options, and our fixed-LTE product hits the sweet spot,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s proving to be a great fit for those wanting reliable Internet and to keep up with their favourite DStv shows.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
