DSTV Premium subscribers in Ghana are voicing their frustration as the company announces another significant increase in subscription fees.
Effective September 1, 2024, the monthly cost for DSTV Premium will rise from GHC680 to GHC750, marking a 10% increase.
This latest hike follows a 19% increase implemented just months ago in February 2024. At that time, DSTV attributed the rise to high taxes and the depreciation of the Ghanaian cedi.
The new fee structure has led to widespread discontent among users.
In a particularly poignant social media post, one subscriber lamented, “DSTV Premium what you Dey take do? Buy compact Nana. Kwata kwata compact plus.”
“I won’t subscribe again,” another wrote. A user who called for government intervention had this to say, “This should be part of a government campaign, where they will allow other part to compete with DStv properly. They are just doing monopoly market because they are the only ones showing EPL.”
The increase has prompted a wave of criticism from users who feel the adjustments are excessive and unfair.
DSTV has yet to respond to the mounting complaints or provide any additional justification for the sudden increase.
