In an e-mail to New Vision Joan Semanda said; “, I can confirm that both DSTV and GOtv have adjusted the prices of some of its packages for 2021. We have taken into account the rate of consumer inflation and current economic pressures facing Ugandans when considering the annual price adjustments,” she said
“The updated fee schedule sees adjustments of an average of 6% for the DSTV and GOtv customers. DStv and GOtv acknowledge their Ugandan customers, and consumers in general, remain under extreme pressure and have endeavored to keep increases below inflation where possible,” she added.
DStv has confirmed that they have been given permission by the Uganda Communication Commission to increase their rate.
DStv premium now goes for UGX 239,000 up, from UGX 227,000. The most affordable package on the DSTV will now go for UGX 37,000 up, from UGX 35,000.
