Netflix outage
There seems to be a small problem with Netflix here where I am (Silicon Valley, CA.) .. like, a total service outage. (Noticed it about 7:30 pm.)
[update: reported outage in Massachusetts and Wisconsin too. Nation-wide?]
FYI: Don’t bother calling them – they just hang up — “We are experiencing a high call volume. Please hang up and try again later.” click.
Anyone else?
Trouble with device ID and/or “instant” streaming?

I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

Well, it is after 11p.m. and though there seems to be some minor glitches yet, I was able to view some Cheers.
… several hours, but considering the scope of the trouble, I would say the engineers did well recovering.
Thanks to all who participated with updates.
