#PayLessForMore! Nigerians react as StarTimes condemns DSTV tariff hike
Aggrieved Nigerians have continued to groan after a recent price hike in subscription by DStv, a Sub-Saharan African direct broadcast satellite service owned by MultiChoice.
Many complained of the price increment after most subscribers discovered they won’t be watching the Community Shield on Sunday and the FA Cup matches will not be aired this season.
However, mixed reactions have trailed another pay Tv company, StarTimesNG, who also condemned the price increment.

Using it’s Twitter handle, @StarTimesNG, the company sympathized with Nigerians over the price hike. It stated that it will reduce its highest bouquet price from N2,600 to N1,900, while adding Ebony Life TV, ST Nollywood Plus & Fox to the list of channels.
StarTimesNG wrote on Twitter,
“We are aware of the recent price hike in subscription by D other pay TV network and sincerely think that Nigerians deserve better.
“his price increment is highly insensitive to the current economic hardship most Nigerians who also happen to be pay-TV subscribers are faced with.
“Since their price increment took effect last week, we have received tons of DMs, mentions & enquiries about our pricing, products and services by defecting customers”.
StarTimes also marketed their services to Nigerians who were groaning about the high Pay Tv subscription.
“In view of this, we are happy to inform everyone that our highest bouquet (Classic Bouquet) price will be reduced from N2,600 to N1,900. – With the inclusion of Ebony Life TV, ST Nollywood Plus & Fox, StarTimes wrote in a thread.”

I have problem with your service in my area at ojodu berger, I have been using sometimes since 2012, but for the last 3months your service has been bad. Kindly work on this to enable us subscribe again as I wasted the June subscription.

If you can get the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, LA Liga and other more interesting football tournaments, not many people will mind paying up to 5k sef

@StarTimes_Ng this is more like paying less for nothing. what exactly are you bringing to the table in terms of content? Do what D other pay TV is doing and be competitive… you are still not a match even with your price reduction

Nice of star times to seize the opportunity but without the best football leagues in the world and quality programming, it would be hard for some to dump the other side.
