Posted by iwgcr

The streaming video service portion of Netflix went down for many users in North America on October 24 2013. The outage started around 9:30 PM, and while it has not affected all users, a number have taken to Twitter and Facebook to complain about videos and movies not loading, or errors on the Netflix website.

Netflix issued the following statement at 9:40 PM:

“We’re aware that some members are experiencing issues streaming movies and TV shows. We’re working to resolve the problem.”

The company appeared to deal with the technical difficulties after around two hours after it started. The video streaming service started to work again at around 11:00 PM, and a spokesperson from Netflix confirmed the resolution of the issue.
