Netflix down?

We can’t get into Netflix from NYC. Anyone else seeing an outage?

From Netflix.com:

Unanticipated outtage. Our engineers are working fast on it.

  10. Down in Idaho. Boooohooo.


  11. Typical Netflix. They throttle you if you actually watch movies, and reward the lazy for sitting on the new stuff for weeks. All they want is to drive up the profit-per-movie. This is the third outage in nine months. Notice they tell you nothing, too. They might as well be the electric or gas company - they hate their customers too.

    Down Down Down…It looks like it is down everywhere going on 5 hours at least. Is something going on? Their stock is taking off today and there where rumors earlier in the week about some sort of Microsoft deal.

  17. Oh my god, people. It’s just movies! Relax. Read a book. Go outside into the sunshine.

  18. What is this “sunshine” that you speak of? Is it a movie? Ah, yes! It is!

    True enough, but tell me, how did you care enough about this subject and get on this thread if you were so busy reading books or going for walks?

  20. Same problem in SLC, UT.


  21. Down here in San Jose, Ca , I live a couple miles from the headquartes and that doesn’t help me at all.

    There’s no promises about reciving and sending dvd’s, it sucks!!!

    Buster……. yes I know it’s just movies but we are paying $$$ for this service.

  22. It’s been the same in St. Louis since early this morning.
    Routine maintenance seems to have brought the site down. I sure wouldn’t want to be the engineer who inadvertently cost my employer millions with a maintenance misstep. Oh man.

  23. Sorry, I was incorrect. It wasn’t routine maintenance. Here is the link to the story…

    It’s down here in the NorthEast too.


  25. In recent, I’ve noticed that Netflix has gone down hill. I’ve been a customer for almost a year now and don’t get any ‘long wait’ new releases unless I strategically return a disc the day before a movie comes out (i.e. Saturday). On the other hand, friends of mine that are new customers have been recieving new releases regardless of when they return a disc and the wait time.

    Rant done.

    I will take the blame. I had the search working overtime looking for all the softcore porn.

  28. I’ll repeat the cnet link given above per the outage: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9901944-7.html

    The stock has reached an all-time high, I wonder if it has something to do with the outage: http://www.reuters.com/article/hotStocksNews/idUSN2433733320080324

  29. Wow this Internet thing seems to be the same all over. I ran to several computers and Netflix is down on each one of them. We need more people reporting in from more states, maybe we can even brek it down by county. I didn’t realize this is how the Interweb works.

  30. Hey A! Did you try different computer brands? — I have a Dell computer but maybe the Interwebbing is running on IBMs. Also I’ve heard sometimes things will straighten out if you untwist the webstring that runs from typing machine to the webtunnel in the wall.

  34. Not to worry, Its just an outage, the distribution centers are up and running its just their central HQ which operates the main site is down. thats why its down all over, its all the same site. from the same building.

    It’s been down longer than they are stating I think. I tried to get on somewhere between 6 and 8am EDT this morning and was getting site errors even then.

    Hmmm, maybe ’cause I have a Latitude D610 I saw it sooner? :o)
