Middle- and upper-class subscribers are still leaving MultiChoice in South Africa, and the number of mid-market (also known as Compact) customers has decreased by 3% since the previous year.
Although it does not provide the precise number of Premium customers, it does state that the decline is “to slow”. The other part of its “premium” segment, Compact Plus, which should not be confused with the Premium package, is therefore declining much more quickly than the overall 6% figure for this upper-income base.
