"Netflix users who were planning to spend a Sunday evening watching a movie have had to make other plans today, as the service has been down for the past two hours, as it has itself acknowledged on its Twitter feed.\r\n\r\nAccording to a Business Insider report, Netflix users found themselves logged out of the service this evening and have since been unable to log back in. Here\u2019s Netflix\u2019s official take on the matter:\r\nFor those of you having trouble signing into the website, we're hard at work on that as well.\r\nThe website is still up, and we expect the service to get back on track pretty soon. With Netflix out of commission, you may want to consider streaming a few songs from Spotify instead, now that it is back up after suffering from downtime as well.\r\n\r\nNetflix has had a pretty lacklustre past few months, with the company\u2019s announcement of a 60% hike in prices of DVD rentals leading to mass outrage among its users and millions of subscription cancellations in September this year. The company also received a blow when Starz announced that it would not be renewing its contract with Netflix, which significantly cut down the size of the service\u2019s streaming library.\r\n\r\nJust when we thought it could not get any worse, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced in an apologetic blog post that Netflix had decided to spin off its DVD rental business into a separate company named Qwikster. It then quickly backtracked on that decision after facing another round of devastatingly critical customer feedback.\r\n\r\nNetflix has since regained some of its lost goodwill by confirming that it will officially come to Ireland and the UK early next year\u00A0and adding all of CW\u2019s shows to its streaming library. Perhaps the best move it pulled was to announce that it would be bringing back Arrested Development, the much-loved TV show that was cancelled by FOX after just three seasons."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
