Or is it just me? Netflix streaming was working fine when I went to bed last night but now I can’t get the page to load.

Localized outages are going to occur. The Xmas Eve outage was widespread and, if I read the PR right, was the fault of Amazon Web Services.

I found this: [Up - Netflix status at downrightnow](http://downrightnow.com/netflix). I haven’t decided if it would be useful or not. For example Netflix streaming was out Christmas eve and this morning. The [Netflix.com](http://Netflix.com) pages with DVD info such as the DVD queue was out yesterday morning but Downrightnow shows only current and recent situation.
