Concern is mounting among GOtv Nigeria subscribers following widespread reports of prolonged signal failure across several parts of the country, leaving thousands without access to the pay-TV service they have already paid for.
Since Friday last week, multiple subscribers have complained of total signal loss, with no improvement days later. The disruption has sparked frustration and anger, particularly as subscription periods continue to run despite the absence of service.
Affected customers say the outage has resulted in financial losses, as subscription days are being deducted without any value received. Compounding the situation is what subscribers describe as a complete lack of communication from GOtv Nigeria, with no official statement, apology, or timeline provided to explain the disruption or assure customers of a resolution.
Efforts to seek help through customer care channels have reportedly been unsuccessful. Subscribers complain that call lines are unreachable, while online self-service platforms have remained unresponsive throughout the outage, further deepening dissatisfaction.
Many customers argue that the situation goes beyond a routine technical fault, describing it as a breach of consumer trust. They insist that collecting subscription fees without delivering service, while simultaneously making support channels inaccessible, is unacceptable and contrary to basic consumer rights.
Subscribers are now calling on GOtv Nigeria to urgently restore signal transmission in all affected areas and to compensate customers for every day of service lost during the outage. They are also demanding a formal explanation from the company on why customer support platforms were unavailable at a critical time.
Consumer advocates have urged relevant regulatory authorities, including the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), to intervene and ensure that subscribers are treated fairly.
As frustration continues to grow, many customers say transparent communication and swift corrective action from GOtv Nigeria will be critical to restoring confidence in the brand.
