Impossible to Cancel Service

<p>I reconnected my DSTV last year for the Olympics and in doing so, had to reconnect the shared dish that is used between 4 units in my complex. the fact that I am forced to pay R160 per month (x4 people using the dish) is ******ion by ELSAT. Why on earth do I have to rent a dish, and what is R640 per month contributing to? I could buy a new dish outright every few months!</p> <p> </p> <p>That is a separate issue however. </p> <p> </p> <p>When i reconnected, i told the people at elsat that it would only be a few months, as we were moving soon, but was forced to sign a 12 month contract, that would have a cancellation penalty if cancelled early. I asked how this was calculated but got a very vague answer. </p> <p> </p> <p>When it comes time to cancel, I'm told I have to essentially pay the balance of the 12-month contract, as this needs to cover the disconnection costs ( i could have disconnected the dish myself.</p> <p> </p> <p>So now I sit, haven't been using the dish for 2 months, and I still can't cancel my contract as I refuse to pay the ridiculous cancellation fee. </p> <p> </p> <p>Kyle</p> <p> </p>
