For two days, MSN Messenger has been experiencing outages that are frustrating millions of users who are finding themselves repeatedly disconnected from Microsoft’s instant messaging network. Adding to user concerns, MSN’s network status page has been frequently inaccessible, returning “Server too busy” errors. The problem started late Monday, and is a result of an “isolated issue” within Microsoft’s datacenter.
“Since yesterday afternoon, some MSN customers may have been experiencing issues accessing MSN Messenger. We’ve identified the cause and are working to take the appropriate steps to remedy the situation as rapidly as possible,” an MSN spokesperson told BetaNews.
