Many people consider Showtime to be one of the greatest streaming platforms for watching premium content. It has given us shows like Dexter, Homeland, Yellowjackets, Twin Peaks, Penny Dreadful and so many others.
Showtime is amazing especially if you have gigablast speed at home and you love binge-watching. But it’s expensive. If you’re one of those subscribers who appear to have been using the streaming service for a limited number of shows only may not want to keep the service once your favorite shows are over. In that case, it makes sense to cancel Showtime subscription right away.
No doubt, SHOWTIME continues to break new ground and attract viewers from all walks of life, boasting millions of subscribers. But for those who aren’t feeling it, don’t want to continue using its services, or find it expensive, here’s how to make the move and stop paying for that membership once and for all.
