Reactions to the DStv Uganda price increase
Several social media commenters have come out to express their disappointment based on the new increased DStv Uganda subscription fees. Some complained that the company keeps changing prices for the packages yet their content is the same. “We sports lovers are disappointed because some league games are not aired. You don’t have UG PL, Europa, French League, etc but you just love money,” he added.
Another sports fan said “I can’t stand this nonsense from DStv Uganda. How on earth do I pay UGX 84,000 when I’m not going to access UCL. FA, and other notable leagues??? Bunch of thieves.” You can read more comments from the tweet below.
