Netflix down for about 2.5 hours Saturday
Found on USA Today on Saturday, 01 October 2016
Based on the languages the Tweets anguishing over the Netflix blackout were written in, it appeared the service was down across much of the globe, including South America, France, Italy, Portugal and Germany.
Others were able to get to the main Netflix entry page, but when they attempted to click on a show to watch, the message "Whoops, something went wrong..." came up, followed by "There was an unexpected error. Please reload the page and try again."
Don't rely on one service alone. With traditional TV, you have lots of senders so when one goes down, you just switch to another channel.
