********** Netflix fees

So..... I've just recently taken out the price lock contract on the R645 package. That's how much I've been paying so I was excited that I will have two explorers without any price difference. Boy was I wrong.

It turns out the explorer ultra comes loaded with some Apps and Netflix is one of them. My children have a profile on their father's account and that's what they used to log into the App on the explorer and DSTV saw a money making scheme by billing twice for the service. This is ********** in my view because first of all the profile being used is active and is being paid for by the owner. I do not have a Netflix account but DSTV wants to take money for the service and give it to who? to Netflix for an account that's already paid for?? I called the call centre to obviously to assistance, The twitter DM and the whatsapp options were also useless. In fact I was told I need to cancel my subscription with Netflix, which subscription?? The one you made up? Because for one to cancel, one needs to have one. I took out a PRICE LOCK contract, why is not the PRICE NOT LOCKED. why are there bogus fees on a PRICE LOCK contract????

I was relieved when I finally received a call from DSTV in an effort to clear up this issue. I had an emotional but fruitful conversation with the consultant who tried her best to explain what has happened. In the end she assured me that Netflix has been removed off my account and no future fees would go off. Unfortunately Netflix subscription has again been loaded on account. I really regret taking out this contract, it has brought on such unnecessary stress.
