DSTV just don't care

For almost 2 months I've never had DSTV at home for more than 2 days a week ... Ive spend over 1000min of my airtime on more than 300 calls to their call centre on top of paying 4 times the monthly subscription... the tag line is simply we are escalating the ticket and somebody will call you back which only happened once in the entire period and then my service only worked again for one weekend... DSTVs monopoly in South Africa with a captive audience simply let's them get away with being completely inept about customer service ! At this stage I think I know more about the inner workings of their mess of a infrastructure, accounts and system than most of the staff as I've had to explain it repeatedly to a hoard of call centre and technical staff ... if there was any other provider in SA I would have switched years ago.

Reviewer Update
DSTV was reconnected several hours after the original review only to be disconnected again on the 31st ... after another irrate call it was reconnected but only for me to discover a additonal 4 charges totalling R800 on the day ... and to top this off a additonal debit order for R2122 was processed today after I confirmed that my account for February was actually in credit and no payment was needed untill 1 March 2021 ... there's no option on the call centre line to query account transactions and the 2 attempts speaking to tech staff was both disconnected... so DSTV has now cost me over R6000 for less than 2 months after switching to the R899 pricelock DSTV offered and activated for me on 21 Dec 2020.
