Court orders DStv to suspend increase in subscription fees

In March, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, owners of DStv announced a 20% price increase for all its satellite pay TV bouquets in Nigeria. Multichoice said the increase, which was supposed to take effect from April 1st, was necessary for them to continue offering good quality programming to its subscribers. But the increase is not going to happen for now after a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos restrained the company from increasing the tariffs.


The restraining order was given at the court following a class action suit filed by two Lagos-based lawyers, Osasuyi Adebayo and Oluyinka Oyeniji, challenging the increase. The judge said there should be no increase until the court meets on April 16th to hear the case.

    Not only must they stop the increment in the fares, DStv must be compelled to introduce the 'pay as you watch' fares. Why on earth must we continue to pay for services not enjoyed. We pay even for not watching DStv. This is madness of the highest order. Wether you put on your DStv or not, after a month, you must pay for another subscription! We Nigerians must stop this nonentity collectively. The government should come to our aid and put a stop to this killing act. The service should be like that of telephones. If you make a call, your credit goes down. If you don't, your credit remains intact. (Thanks to Globacom for saving Nigerians from MTN and other yeye networks that initially said per second billing is not possible in Nigeria).
    In South Africa that they come from, they ’use pay as you watch’. Whey must they continue to extort us unnecessarily?

    That's a very very good one, i pray it materialize oh cos dstv has really dealt with Nigerians and no single bonus from them, the height is launching African magic Igbo and placing t on a high bouquet.

    It's not about suspending the increase in subscription. Govt or Court should order them to make it 'Pay As You Go.' Your subscription should run only when u watch. Thanks.

    I love this and I pray the Lawyers win when the matter is heard! It is time for consumers to stand up and stop the shylock exploitation of Nigerians by multinationals such as Multichoice! They have been increasing their subscription prices arbitrarily without restraint! The worst culprits are the telecommunication network providers! They impose their service on you and deduct your money without your consent! ......The other day Airtel just woke up and deducted my money and sent me a text that I have subscribed for weekly international news! I began to wonder, was it in my dream or in real life that I subscribed to such crap! These exploitations must stop or they pack and ho back to South Africa!!!

    It's so because Lagos state government of Fashola and APC have a stake in the company because in the Eastern part of the country we have CTL and Metro as alternative with better services. That is why Lagos state government clamped down HI TV... Sorry my people... .where are Oba and Afolayan... .

    I think this is getting ridiculous. It's not by force to buy DStv. buy what you can afford and let us rest jare. Court injunction for a private company? ridiculous! all you "entrepreneurs" are next! you can not force a company who incurs costs to provide you a service to reduce it's prices. You can get what you can afford na. Nawa for Naija. This thirst for "change" is beginning to make people unreasonable. Anyway, na una know.

    its really sad the country we are in. A lot of people live a fake life. if you cant afford DSTV buy GOTV or use startimes. The pay per day on sky sport london charges you 7 pounds for just a days match which is almost 2500 naira per day and Dstv charges you 13980 for a 30 days not just the matches alone but also other programmes repeated or not. When they start per view i assure you that you will pay more.Just stck to your NTA if you cant afford the shit ,its a luxury product not a necessity.

  153. Williebanj9 April 2015 at 11:38

    They need competitors. Startimes should work harder to be in same range with them. When more competitors set in, they will beg us to have the decoder for free and pay 5000 for subscription. We saw same thing happen to telecomms. Now SIM card wey me buy for N35,000 dey sell for N150. SMH

    this is a stupid message from the court of appeal, the news have been ongoing since feb that they will increase the tariff by 20%, the court did not attend to it in march when the increment was to take effect on 1st of april. after so many people have paid the increment of the 20% the court is coming to suspend the increment on the 7th of April. what is going to happen to subscribers who have already paid the 20% increment?. medicine after death
