Netflix Down / Login Problems – Are You Affected?

Netflix are currently experiencing a site outage that is affecting its Watch Instantly steaming service. The website http://www.netflix.com just brings you to an error page, or does not display at all.

Although problems and issues were thought to have been fixed earlier, it does not seem to be the case. In a tweet via Twitter, the Netflix team posted a thank you message to users who had informed them that the site was inaccessible and say that they are aware of people still having issues with the Watch Instantly service, to which they say they are working to fix.

Thanks for your tweets. The site is back up but we’re aware that people are still having issues watching instantly. We’re working to fix it.

Netflix have no yet responded to questions regarding the reason for the downtime, and although they have stated that the website should now be fully functional, I can not still access the website.

Netflix have just updated their Twitter account and have tweeted this tweet: -

We’re aware of the issues that are occurring and are working diligently to get everything up and running again. Thanks for your patience!

Have you experienced problems accessing Netflix today?

    Netflix website still down!

    • jimbo

      But it works just fine. Not on my dam computer where I would like it to but on my 360.

    • guest

      I thought I was the only one with this issue…still down 3/23/11 12:56am…

    • daveb

      Works fine on my PS3 but not on my comp. Says there's a problem with the site.

    • Mooney53

      No, Netflix's website is not down. If you are getting a disabled cookie message on your computer ,this simply implies that a login cookie has been lost.misdirected,or somehow deleted. There are many things that could of created this mishaps including Netflix login procedure itself. Simply reintroducing Netflix by going to the Netflix weblink and right click the Offical Netflix weblink, copy Netflix's URL and paste it into your search bar and hit search. It's that simple,the process will run and bring up Nteflix's login page,then proceed with entering your user ID & password.and "wallah" all is good. This is the path I took after trying to find the missing cookie in my desk top. I searched for over a week and never found the missing link so I went back and started at the beginning and now now it's working fine from my desk top computer ! I hope this helps your delimma !!!

  • Steed

  • Lynn

    It won't let me do instant streaming on my ps3. I get "we are unable to connect you to netflix. Please try again later" the numbers 300,100 are in the bottom right hand corner. I'm assuming that's a error code?

    Haven’t gone on Netflix for awhile and go on it tonight and get an error page that says “We’re currently experiencing a technical issue”. While we get things back to normal, some features aren’t available – but you can
    play select titles on this page. There is quite a few titles but when I clicked on one my screen froze. I opened my task manager and clicked on “end task”. I opened up the internet, opened Netflix and got the same error message and clicked on a differant movie and the page froze again! What’s going on?

  • Sharonkostecka

    Yes we have been having trouble also getting netflix on Blu ray player but streams fine on game system in other part of house. Please

    Have been having streaming problems with netflix from the day I started about 1 month ago. Constantly having to re-load or Re-fresh….
    I would close & reopen and get Internet Explorer cannot Display~NOW, the latest, I had been watching netflix & when the program ended began to watch another~All of a sudden I need to Uninstall Microsoft Sliverlight and Reinstall to fix-Well…..after a  dozen attempts last night and then this morning I was still getting the same error code. Now I went to reinstall Adobe Flash as I was told be a tech, the Error code is gone but so is Netflix.
    Not HAPPY at all with this Service-just Canceled HULU thinking I didn’t need both, guess I’ll be Cancelling Netflix and going back to HULU!!!
    I haven’t one problem with any of my other browsers or sites! Just NetFLIX

    The new Netflix App will not allow you to login gives you an error code saying it is not available and to try latter. 

  • Lynnldw

    Is anyone else having this problem with the New Netflix app?

  • Dposila

    Well my problem still continues, and I am not to happy about it. While watching instant movies, it plays for a few minutes, stops and I have to wait for reloading. It`s terrible , that the movie your watching is only 1 1/2 hrs long and it takes 2hrs& 40 min. to watch. I`m paying for a service that I`m not getting from you. I was told several times, to try different things and it didn`t work. I`m not a very happy customer, I think i`ll try Blocker Buster maybe the`ll have better service. I will let you know soon, and let you know when I will cancel my account.   BYE   Dennis Posila

  • Kathy Jones

    Have not been able to watch movies for three days now.Takes for ever to load then when they do load they play for a few minuts then stop.What up with this.?Nov.9th

  • Poguri

    Come on, for real! new charges, no service. whats up!  I’ve been suportive to Netflix, but if these problems are not resolved, there are other options. Also, I’m known as a very patient person, but I’m rapidly loosing it!

  • Pamela schaeffer

    I still do not get netflix at all and have been down completely for many days.

  • Firstclasscds

    Me thinks they lie to us.  I have not used it in several weeks. I go to watch movies yesterday and everything went to hell when I tried to use my Roku(s).  Seems like this is related to Roku firmware update and changes Netflix is making.  However, they are not owning up to problems they created.  Amazon, Classical TV, Crackle and news sites are working fine.  Netflix screwed us again and they will pay dearly and lose more customers.  I am ready to quit using them totally now.  They like to run customers in circles and blame us, when it is their problem.  Its BS….

  • Fergihoot

    We have subscribed to Netflix for several years, and for most of them my wife has wanted to just give up and try something else.  But WHAT else?  Her complaints include the very sorry selection of films, the impossibility of watching Roku without long, long waits, freeze-ups, and permanent stoppages in the middle of movies. Results with DVDs are somewhat better, but it is time consuming to sort through all the bummers in search of something tolerable. We are very senior senior citizens who live in the mountains far out at the end of the road and free of neighbors, visitors or other noxious distractions. We wouldn’t have it any other way.  Pets, gardening, books, TV (better than ever)  and chatting with each other are our main activities. Netflix was ok early on, but lt seems they have lost control..

    Can someone guide us to a good replacement for Netflix/Roku?

  • Mjb113044

    I am so damn angry due to your system. Earlier today I was able to get on your site. Rescently I loaded a bunch of videos on instant watch from my computer. My huband is listed as John M. Blaine We use visa from BofA. Now I try to go on it from my computer again and I can’t. I go on line and I get your free trial garbage every time. It does not even allow me or my husband to login on using my computer. What is going on? I have been here trying for about 45 minutes. We are so angry with all your grtbage we are ready to discontinue your services and go with someone else!

    I have e-mail you 5 times for my password and you have not answer, what is the problem?
    I can’t login without my password and for some reason you don’t see fit to e-mail the password  back to me, also what did you raise the price on me, you double the amount. I can’t log in and you up the price not very good bussines on your part. I will one more time try to get my password form. Are you employee lazy or what? Just send my password please. You take my money without any problems so why can’t you e-mail my password. I like geting your movies, but don’t like the fact that no one will answer your e-mails when sent to you. So come on GUYS answer your e-mails, address the problem and I will be a happy customer. Please be nice.

  • Pauline (Polly) Sharpe

    FOR THE LAST 8 DAYS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO WATCH ANY MOVIES.  EVERYTIME I TRY TO WATCH ONE, IT ONLY LOADS UP TO 98% OF THE MOVIES AND THEN STOPS.  I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY TELL ONLY TO STILL BE AT A LOSS.  THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN PAID AND I KNOW THEY WILL NOT PRO-RATE MY BILL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO WATCH FOR 8 DAYS.  I THINK I WILL HAVE TO CANCEL AND GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE. BECAUSE I WILL NOT KEEP PAYING FOR SOMETHING I AM NOT RECEIVING.  I AM SURE YOU COULD CARE LESS BECAUSE MY PROBLEM STILL EXIST.  YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED AND ARE NOT EDUCATED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO TROUBLESHOOT A PROBLEM.
    VERY SAD AND DIS-SATISFIED CUSTOMER,
