DSTV offers a variety of packages you can subscribe to. DSTV compact is the choice of many Nigerians in the middle class, given that the DSTV compact has CNN and many sports channels. The package was particularly targeted at sports lovers. The DStv Compact package comes with almost all the interesting channels you could get from DSTV.
Since you get more interesting channels like CNN and many sports channels, the price of this Bouquet is also high for the majority of Nigerians. That is why most users go for the Confam package.
