GOtv yesterday, 7 September 2012, announced a 29 percent reduction in the price of its decoders, lowering the price to KES 2,199 from KES 3,102.
If one pays KES 3,999 they will get a GOtv decoder plus 3 months subscription to GOtv channel bouquet. However, is there a way of paying less and still get a GOtv decoder plus 3 months viewing?
Gotv currently offers one channel bouquet which costs KES 599 per month. You will pay KES 1,797 for three months subscription.
599 X 3 = KES 1,797
What if you were to buy a GOtv at KES 2,199 then subscribe to 3 months of viewing separately at KES 1,797, you will actually pay KES 3,996
1,797 + 2,199 = KES 3,996
You will actually pay KES 3 less if you buy a GOtv decoder then subscribe to 3 months of viewing separately as opposed to buying the GOtv and subscribing to 3 months of viewing at the same time which will cost you KES 3,999
3,999 – 3,996 = KES 3 less
Yet again, it’s 0.00075% less or KES 3, it won’t make much difference on your budget.
UPDATE 10/09/2012: Changed percentage to 0.00075%
