Why move to a new DSTV package?
People choose to upgrade their DSTV packages based on a wide range of factors;
- Perhaps your favorite sport is now in season. This is what usually happens with soccer fans. Whenever the English Premier league is off season, they move to cheaper packages. However as soon as the Premierships comes back, they upgrade in order to watch their favorite teams.
- You simply wish to save money by shifting to a lower prized DSTV package. With the lowest bouquet going for $7, it’s not hard to see why it may be tempting to move up and down the available packages.
- You absolutely have to watch some shows that are only available on another package. In this instance, you would need to upgrade your DSTV bouquet.
