Sorry I stepped out.


I got fed up with the nonsense replay of movies especially old movies on DSTV... And gradually I became bored with the premier League....

So I visited computer village to get the Roku stick...


Fast forward.... DSTV called me 3 months after I left the platform due to incessant installation issues immediately there's a thunderstorm or rain.

The caller grandiosely informed me that I'll need to acquire the new decoder with 16k as my current decoder will be expiring from their platform!!

Like wth....

This reinforced my determination to quit the multichoice platform totally..... The problem now was affordable data subscription....

Recall that I mentioned MTN zaps data anyhow and Glo has enough 419 to frustrate the ..... Anyway I got information about the Airtel 5G router unlimited data plan...

On getting to the Airtel office... It was saner and more modern than both the MTN and Glo offices combined. I got the 5g router for 50k, which included the one month free unlimited data subscription.... Wow!!! MTN data in one week is usually around 11k....

On getting home I set up the 5g router and connected all the gadgets in the house, TVs laptops and phones.... Netflix Hdo app Showmax all seamlessly streaming via the 20mbps cap ... As at today I have used over 200gb on this speed based plan... As far as I know it has almost paid for the equipment cost.

It's a stressful journey.
If you go FTA, you have to add tuning and rotating of dish to your headache regularly. If iptv, network will disappoint in important matches some days.

The economy is not smiling sha. 15k just to watch 4 matches monthly is not easy.

Depends on the plan you choose.

Minimum is 20mbps and that's 20k
40mbps is 35k

However you control your viewership

Don't waste your fund on getting the 35k , you will still get the same 2.5mb/seconds . I used the 35k unlimited last month but I have downgraded since I can't figure out the difference

Get IPTV, look for the sellers on tv/movies thread. You can chat @gentleboss

With IPTV, you will never go back to DStv.

DSTV phasing out decoders at cost to the customer is fraudulent in my opinion.

Nobody asked them to do that. Now they want to charge customers for it. Smh
