Nigerians are seeking for a better alternative following the decision of the broadcasting company, Multichoice to increase the prices of its offerings in Nigeria four months after its last increment.
When Multichoice revealed its new offering, there was outrage from the public online with many arguing that the increment was coming at the wrong time.
A concerned Nigeria said “I am not even a fan of DSTV one bit. Aside from football, there’s basically nothing of note there. But this whole outrage over them hiking their price is quite hypocritical. Everyone has hiked the price of their goods/services. Even small businesses. So why shouldn’t DSTV do the same?”.
While others are still lamenting the increase, some social media users looked for a cheaper alternative to DSTv.
Many suggested SLTv as an affordable alternative rendering the same service as DSTv.
SLTV is a premier satellite television company operated by Metro Digital Limited based in Nigeria.
Metro Digital SLTV has over 50 HD channels with 10 Sports channels that show live football matches from the Premier League, Champions League, Laliga, Seria A, and UEL among others with a monthly subscription ranging from N5,000 and N2,500.
In April, Multichoice increased the prices of its offerings in Nigeria four months after its last increment.
It reviewed prices in its packages across the board with the new prices will take effect from May 1, 2024.
