DStv: *****ing People's money since 1994

<p>Had the most frustrating call with a call centre agent at DStv. I called to cancel my account for this month as I don't want it on for the month of August. The last time I called, the operator said that if I cancel within the 15-day grace period, it'll be all right. Now, he tells me that I cannot cancel my account; it can only be done next month (September the 2nd). Now he's telling me that I have to pay the full R759 come the 2nd of September. That is completely useless. And such a rip-off. DStv should at least have the flexibility to cancel account whenever, so that the customer can pay the pro-rated amount owing the next month; or when they reconnect again. This is terrible service. I hope DStv learns to be more customer-friendly...especially their call centre agents! Get it together, DStv :( </p>
