"The Netflix Web site remained up throughout the incident, supporting sign up of new customers and streaming to Macs and PCs, although at times with higher latency and a likelihood of needing to retry. Over-all streaming playback via Macs and PCs was only slightly reduced from normal levels."
This is simply false. I tried Netflix streaming on both my Macs and my Roku and neither worked. The site may have been up, but the streaming was down for Macs (and any computers in general I assume), not just TV boxes like Roku.
