Massive Outagage Has Netflix Subscribers Scratching Their Heads As They Start Their Weekend
Well, it is anything but Nextflix and Chill for the streaming giant, who is evidently having a massive outage throughout the world.
Evidently, reports have been pouring in over social media from disgruntled subscribers getting the dreaded "Error Code: NSES-500" as they try and stream their favorite movies and shows. The outages began around 2:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, though some have been able to find solace with the fact that there is still service on mobile devices according to Comicbook.com.
This hasn't been the first time something like this has happened over at Netflix. It was reported that when Season 4 of the wildly popular Stranger Things first dropped, Netflix was hit with a massive spike in viewership at 3 a.m. when they launched the show only to be resolved a half hour later.
It is not yet known what is causing the issue at this time, though reports from people on Twitter have assured us that this as a worldwide issue, with subscribers from countries such as India and Ireland voicing their complaints on the social media platform.
I myself tried to see if the outage had taken place in New York, only to find that my account had been signed out of without me doing so.
There has been no statement made by Netflix as of yet, but Enstarz will keep you posted as to the cause of this massive failure when more information is available.
