The Netflix streaming entertainment service failed U.S. customers for more than five hours Sunday night.

According to reports online and BYTE editors testing out the service on a range of devices, the system failed nationwide at approximately 4 p.m. Pacific Time.

By 9:09 p.m. PT, BYTE editors and contributors in New England, Minnesota, Texas, New Mexico and California pronounced Netflix up and running on most devices. At 9:30 p.m., the Los Gatos, CA company finally posted an apology to customers on its Facebook page, inspiring some customer vitriol. At this writing, customers were still posting.

Netflix has yet to report the reasons for the system failure, a stony silence that only added fuel to customer outrage about the company's new pricing plans.

No Netflix here last night either, in Florida.

Space,

No netflix streaming on my tower or on my tv itself last night. Bad timing, too! I wanted to finish watching Iron Man 2. Phooey.

Mine was working last night too - Sunday 07/17. Streamed from both a Mac Mini, and a Wii.

bwicklander and kj4btkljv,
What time did streaming work? The reports started around 4 PST and ended around 9PST. If you both started watching after the service was restored, well…of course everything was working fine. Wink
