dstv bad experience, service, disappointment, be warned!

I have had dstv access for a couple of years now (R129), Showmax (R49) and Namola (R29) are both discounted, in February 2024 I added dstv internet to my access package and I was told dstv internet + access would be R249 and it also says so on their website, on a 24 months contract, they told me that I can only get the dstv internet if I do debit order and I agreed, I asked how much they would debit my account and I was told they could not tell until I activate the internet and I did during the 1st week of February, they debited R217,98 on the 5th of February,

Days before the 5th of March I checked my balance on mydstv and it was R565 then I contacted them via their chat service to dispute that. then when I checked the following day it was R0.00, I checked the day after it was R317 due on the 5th of April.

I had enough money in the account that I gave them by the 5th of March for them to debit, that is dstv internet + access (R249) + Shomax (R49), Namola (R29) = R327, and on the 5th of March they tried to debit R564. 24 and the debit order did not go through, on Saturday 9 March 2024 they decided to disconnect my services.

I then checked mydstv again to find out what was happening and to my surprise, the balance was R641 and the R217.98 that they debited on the 5th of February does not even show on my transaction history on mydstv on their website, I contacted them again and I was told I owe R565.24, How I asked, the agent could not explain because of being confused themself, I asked if I could speak to someone senior and I was told I would be getting a called before the end of the day and that was on Saturday and I am still waiting.

I checked my balance today on Monday and the balance is R512.48 due on the 11th of March, they are a disappointment, a ****, and arrogant, they have inconvenienced me and my family, and wasted my time.

Be warned before you get their packages, you might regret it, and you will have nowhere to turn to, they will give you a runaround, what a bad service and experience I have had!

dstv internet is a ****, it is a campaign to de***** people, I regret getting it, they advertise that the dstv access + internet is R249 yet they will start charging what they call data fees, you will see all these charges that you do not understand, I tried several times to try to get an explanation from them or to it corrected and explain that I do not owe them the amount that they are claiming but their *********** arrogant staff won't listen to me, I despise dstv with all my being, now I understand why people are stopping to use dstv, being a monopoly they are, they think they can do as they please, bully people, so much stupidity, this company has to be investigated for their crimes, their *****ulent activities, I don't owe them a cent, but they have disconnected my services claiming that I owe them, I get in touch with them and each time I do the amounts change, one tells me this, another one tells me that, it is as if they are not working with the same system, not working at the same company, one calls to say to me I owe them about R280, another tell me I owe them R134, mydstv says R233, I do not know anymore, these dstc people are so messed up in their heads, I am so frustrated with them that I am even starting to develop hatred for dstv, kcuf dstv, to hul with them, I have never experienced so much arrogance with any service provider.
