Netflix is back online after an outage left thousands of UK and US users unable to access content.

Today, users were unable to view material via the Netflix app or website due to an outage that lasted for more than an hour.

People from the United Kingdom, the United States, and several European nations, such as Spain and Italy, were affected.

The streaming behemoth has stated that it is experiencing issues but has not yet revealed the cause.

Netflix issued the following statement on its server status website: “We are experiencing streaming problems on all platforms.”

We are working on a solution to the issue. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

According to the website that monitors such outages, Down Detector, the troubles began at 16:00 BST (11:00 ET).

More than 6,500 Netflix subscribers in the United Kingdom alone reported accessing the streaming service’s content was problematic.

One Twitter user stated, “Netflix being down when I went to watch the extra Sandman episodes is my VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY” about the outage.

Another user said, “#netflixdown and now I’m forced to watch Disney…. even another reason to cancel…”

Nearly 35% of users reported experiencing difficulties with the website, 33% with the app, and 32% with streaming in general.

One enraged user posted on Downdetector, ‘It says ‘Blocked’ whenever I attempt to reload and return to the homepage.’

Another user asked, “Is Netflix down?” I received a “blocked” and an error message.

Users in London, Birmingham, and Manchester have reported experiencing problems.

Three weeks earlier, more than 13,000 users reported problems with the service for more than an hour.

Almost a million members were lost by the streaming giant throughout the spring.

Previously, the business attributed its slowness to increasing competition from rivals such as Disney+, Apple TV, and Now TV amid the Covid epidemic.

In addition, they mention the inflation issue that is currently straining the budgets of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as the decision to limit account-sharing.

Disney, which had 221 million streaming subscribers at the end of the most recent quarter, surpassed Netflix as the world’s largest streaming company earlier this month.

This is in contrast to rival Netflix, which has been losing members since the beginning of the year and has 220.7 million fewer subscribers.
