Ghanaians are increasingly raising concerns over DStv’s pricing, calling for reductions in subscription fees following reports that users in countries like Nigeria enjoy lower rates.

In a recent Vox Pop conducted by GhanaWeb, many expressed frustration over the perceived unfairness and questioned why some African countries have seen up to 30% reductions in DStv charges, while Ghanaians are facing a 15% increase.

“I think DStv should reduce the price because what’s the reason for other countries benefiting from a 30% reduction while Ghana is being hit with a 15% increase? We are all African countries, so whatever someone else is enjoying, we should enjoy too,” a subscriber told GhanaWeb.

Another subscriber pointed out that with the recent drop in the dollar exchange rate, prices should have been adjusted downward rather than increased.

“If the dollar rate is down, then it has to be reduced,” another subscriber said.

Others complained that the shows and channels offered in Ghana are not the same as in other countries, even though Ghanaians sometimes pay more.

While a few called for significant reductions, others believed that even a small cut would help ease the financial burden on subscribers.

Many believe it’s time for MultiChoice Ghana to review its pricing structure and address what they see as unfair treatment compared to other African countries.
