Previously, the DStv compact plus package cost N19,800, but it went up to N25,000 after Multichoince increased its subscription for Gotv and DStv at the beginning of May.

He said:

"Not Dstv casually sending me a message to renew my subscription “with just 25,000” so I can watch Euros. Ain’t subbing, plus who told y’all I’m not watching the Euros?."

Multichoice goes back to old prices for GOtv, DStv?

Meanwhile, there are reports that DStv may have reverted to old prices after a court order.

Multichoice has also vowed to challenge the court order restraining it from increasing subscription charges in Nigeria.
