Netflix connection problems

Netflix directly competes with Hulu for on-demand Internet streaming media across the United States, so if problems take place with your Netflix streaming it could make you want to jump to another service. The biggest complaints each month for Netflix would be connection error messages, the video streaming going down, or issues with the official website.

Popular US locations for viewers of Netflix include Texas, Jacksonville, Troy, Ocean County, and Florida. We have heard about problems with streaming at these locations in the past, although it’s fair to say users would get no connection in most areas at once. There are some occasions when problems are localized to certain areas in the UK, or USA.

If you are having any Netflix issues no matter how small or large we want to hear about them, maybe the community can relate with your troubles.

  • Mi

    Charlotte, NC– I have tried for 3 days to handle NetFlix, which keeps telling me to install Update Adobe Flash which I have done 5 times with the help of a Webmaster. Each Movie I go to tells me to do this. CBS, ABC. NBC, ETC. VUDU owned by Walmart> I messed with for over 3 hours just trying to get my credit card updated on my account on their website, finally so pissed off, I called VUDU to cancel. Customer Rep. RAIN, walked me through it and I demanded a Supervisor Survey sent to me which I filled out today through Email. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. Each movie or Tv show or Network I go to says Update Adobe or Microsilverlight, which has been done over 5 times. Surprising is ROKU still works on the TV inside but no streaming on the internet. Time WARNER, ATT UNIVERSE, ETC. we will not go there because of the huge fees and profits. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? Mergers behind closed doors to own the only Streaming company? Like MA Belle was broken into ATT because of Gov. declared Monopoly> Who controls the internet? ARE THE POWERS THAT BE ( 1 percent ) Wall Street, Gov. Tech Companies that are all trying to control it for their own profit? It was given to us free. All we want is for things to work as we pay for their services to us. Without customers paying you have no business, or future. GIVE US WHAT WE PAY FOR. SIMPLE>
    FYI: Raleigh, NC — All Verizon cell phones outage today. Can receive texts, no calls in or out.

  • ML

    I have been having problems starting in early December 2015. My Netflix account functions ok everywhere except where I need it most-my Samsung Smart Tv. It started when the banner saying that Social TV would no longer be accessible w/Samsung Smart Hub-not sure if it is related. My Tv came w/Netflix installed and it won’t let me delete and reload the app, and from what I can tell, I have the latest Netflix app anyways. My problem is not connection-it will connect, but it will load and play for a few mins or seconds before losing sound and then glitching completely and sticking, sometimes trying to reload, but eventually not only getting stuck but completely freezing all of the Samsung TV controls. I have to shut the Tv off completely and when it is stuck w/Netflix there is a looooong delay in just shutting off completely , like the connection being messed up will not allow a normal disconnect/remote command. Netflix interferes with ALL of the remote functions when this happens-inc volume and other buttons. And the kicker is that Netflix is the ONLY app on this Smart Tv that is doing this. Amazon and other apps are fine and do not create this issue, and I have also brought in an old bluray to see if it is an internet/broadband connection and it is not at all. The bluray screens Netflix fine but takes up space and time with setting up. Esp annoying when it was working fine before. Even with Bluray working w/Netflix we are considering ending our 8yr love affair w/Netflix because it is annoying to have Samsung blame Netflix because they say they just provide the platform for the app, Netflix provides the “working” app- and then have Netflix blame Samsung’s Smart hub, saying it is all them when Netflix is the only app not working.

  • Terry

    The Netflix website won’t even load – this is the 2nd evening I’ve tried to watch something! Bay Area. Not good!

  • Carrey

    “sorry this title cannot be watched instantly at this time.” This is all I get when trying to watch a film.

  • Ken

    Netflix has been down for like 2 days now, not been able to watch anything.

  • Jodie

    I am not seeing any titles at all. just an error message saying, “Can’t connect to Netflix.” 12001

  • Kathy C

    Netflix keeps giving the error “having trouble with this title right now. Try again later or a different title”. I have done both and the problem continues for all day. This defeats the “binge” watching!

  • John Roddy

    On another website 22,717 Netflix customers from countries all over the world and nearly every state in America are reporting that they haven’t been able to connect with Netflix sin last Thursday, May 25, 2017. I contacted a Netflix phone rep today who told me that they are not aware of any problems with their system. When I asked him to login to the website with the complaints he said that since it isn’t an authorized Netflix site that he doesn’t have the authority to login to it. I find it difficult to believe that more than 27.000 people cannot get Netflix on their TV and the company doesn’t know about it. If anyone else on this site has information about the problem please share it with us,
