After Disney+ glitches, Netflix stumbles into its own outage

NEW YORK : The path to our streaming-video future has a few bumps.

Netflix Inc. customers were cut off from service temporarily on Thursday, another high-profile disruption this month following the glitches that marred Walt Disney Co.’s launch of its highly anticipated Disney+ service.

The Netflix disruptions started around 8:30 a.m. New York time. Within an hour, more than 1,000 complaints had been logged by Downdetector.com, a network-monitoring site. Subscribers who tried to log in to their Netflix service received notifications of service issues. By 10:30, the service appeared to be restored on most devices.
