Unable to downgrade

I called into the call centre and was advised that I am unable to downgrade my package as my billing date is the first of every month and have to call the day before to do so. they will charge for the package I am on and will have a credit for the following month. I want to downgrade and it seems like DSTV does not want us to do so freely. I have to pay for another call to downgrade something that metaphorically belongs to me. I will be doing my research with regards to the new laws like CPA, NCA, etc. I am not happy with this at all and I cant wait for Netflix to come to SA!!!
