Bad Customer service and experience

I have been on DSTV premium for over 10 years now and it's the firat time where my debit order bounced with money in the account and I was expecting for them to take R988 and they wanted to take R1900 and they are telling me that it's due to the internet package. I was not informed that they will be taking R1900, they had a special that included data and that's what I asked for and the amount was definitely not R1900. if you check their promotion pamphlet it said R899. So the maximum i expected for them to take was a R1000 because of insurance. Now they have switched off my dstv premium package, I have called over 10 times, complaining about this and they switch it on and then off after a day. We told them to cancel the data package because it has never worked. The only person who understood was Rosetta Mhlongo. She told me she will calculate how i would need to pay via eft of R709 but i paid R800. I am extremely disappointed and will be cancelling everything if they do not restore my services and I will spread the word... I'm quite big on socialedia and have over 500k followers. Dstv has been all over news papers and social media about losing premium package customers, I understand why and soon I will follow. For a person who has been with you for over 10 years on premium, you have shown that you do not value my business.

Reviewer Update
I only got 1 missed call from that number... What is your policy for dealing complaints, you only call once and complaint is closed. Very poor service I must tell you. I call asked for call recordings for the day when we took up the data thing, nothing has been sent. You sold me something incorrectly and I am being charged for it. This thing has never worked, your IT people tell us to move it to the window. At this day and age of wifi. Worse yor consultants are very rude and they tell me its a contract whether it's working or not I must pay. We have asked to cancel your data subscription because we sold something that we did not agree to. I call numerous times and a lady by the name of Rosetta Mhlongo told me, I must pay R709 to get my subscription for the package restored. I paid R800 instead. You restored the service for one day, why did you do that if I owed you. I am not happy with your response and it shows that you are arrogant and never in investigated anything on my complaints, check your call logs nor show any remorse for the service. As a client who has never skipped any debit order, it shows that you do not value my money nor how I feel about how you have treated me.
