Netflix Streaming is Down

Netflix streaming is down on the PC, Roku, iPad, and other devices. The Netflix customer service line is busy, but no word from Netflix or NetflixHelps on Twitter yet.

2. Well, I'm heading down to the only Blockbuster left in my town.....

[ejpoeta]

21. my husband said they pulled a bunch of blockbuster kiosks out of places.

some had only been at those locations for a month even. prices for new rentals went up to $2 to $3 a night or was it 2.99 to 3.99 a night? i figured with netflix changing pricing taking them out was a bad movie. i don't know though. i have never used any of those things yet. I have thought about it though. but that is besides the point. our blockbuster went out a few months ago. it looks weird all closed up. maybe we'll see some local movie rental places open up again. who knows.

[BlueDemKev]

27. Actually, Blockbuster rentals are now 99 cents for 1 night

That's a good deal.

[ejpoeta]

29. i think he said the older ones were 99cents and the new rentals were the 2-3 dollars.

maybe a new change. the kiosks they pulled hadn't seen any rentals at all. i would say $2 is a good deal considering how much it was for was it 2 day rental at blockbuster or 3 days? don't remember. As long as you are going to return it the next day that is. My biggest problem was always remembering to return movies on time.

7. It goes down on occasion

As for the price increase, while it's not good, the move is not surprising - demand is up. Ultimately though, I'll probably decide to go with the streaming-only plan, which will save me about three bucks over my current DVD/Streaming package. If I want to rent a video I can walk over to my local rental place and browse the choices in person.

11. I just rented Harry Potter & TDH part 1 on iTunes for .99¢

and it worked flawlessly. Fuck NetFlix.

[ejpoeta]

20. but can i watch that on my roku?

[Auggie]

33. Don't know

Apple takes a lot of heat for the price of their products, but the stuff does work very well.

13. Netflix won't accept my password

It does seem to be going out its way to annoy its customers.

[Glimmer of Hope]

14. I am not able to log on or access through Roku.

They should give us a credit.

[Mimosa]

15. People don't have the money. Why is topic being un-recced?

I don't understand unreccing this topic.

[dkf]

16. On the flip side anyone notice how fast the Internet is?

[cbdo2007]

17. Guess you'll have to find something else to do.

Is that such a big deal?

I don't understand the price increase either and have already agreed with Netflix that I should be paying less money for my usage, so I changed my plan. It's strange for a company to actually ask their customers to pay less for a service they're happy with, and tell them they should probably go elsewhere for other services.

[taterguy]

18. It's a big fucking deal. I have 3/4 of Die Hard to finish watching.

Bruce Willis and all those hostages are trapped in a building.

How am I gonna get to sleep if I don't know how they make it out?

[jberryhill]

23. This is why WE ALL need to be IN THE STREETS right NOW!

I'm stuck part way through Tudors Season 4 and Jane Seymour is just getting HOT!

[dkf]

22. I was happily ripping through a bunch of stand up comedy.

I could use a good laugh.

[ejpoeta]

19. my daughter couldn't get it to work on the wii. so now I don't feel so bad.

it wasn't just us.

[RebelOne]

24. Just go to Hulu.com. Lots of good stuff there. n/t

[elocs]

25. I've been watching it all evening with no problems at all.

I'm not happy with the price increase, but streaming is still great for me. I'll drop the dvds after next month though since I only have one out at a time.

[dkf]

26. Looks like I'm up! Yay.

Maybe if you held on to your connection you were ok.

[elocs]

That could be it because once what I was watching was over,

Ken Burns' series on Baseball, I got the notice that I didn't have a connection.

30. ditto. The new price increase starts September 1st.

[deacon]

31. Mine is down now. I went ahead and cancelled the DVD rentals though. Screw them. n/t

[WolverineDG]

32. That explains why I couldn't get in last night

Oh well, these things do happen.
