The price of the Compact+ bouquet is also increased to N19,800 from N16,600 monthly, which is a 19% increment.
DStv announced that subscribers on its Compact bouquet will now pay N12,500 as against N10,500 they are currently paying, representing a 19% increase; while those on the Confam package are to pay N7,400, also a 19% increase compared to N6,200 currently being paid.
