If anyone else is experiencing this issue with connecting to the EA servers in the menu, make sure to turn off DirectX 12 in the main menu screen!
This was enabled for some reason and cured my problems.
Hopefully it is more than a temporary fix. Right now I am defragmenting my hard drive and maybe going to reinstall Origin again because my problem keeps getting worse.
Also, do you have the latest Battlefront update or another download queued in Origin? It's probably a long-shot that a queued download would be the problem and that we would have the same download queued, but maybe it is an Origin problem with downloads that is only manifesting in BF1.

Are you using the release version of Origin or the Beta version of orgin? Have you tried disabling Origin in game both in the Origin application settings and under BF1's settings by right clicking BF1's icon in origin, selecting view game details and disabling Origin in game there as well?
I never cared to learn how to get the beta release of Origin, so I doubt I have that. Also, before the last reinstall of Origin, the Origin overlay should have been disabled ingame and I believe the problems were still there. If it was automatically re-enabled, I will disable it again.
Also, I'm not even sure that it would even be the cause of the connections problem and was guessing at the possibility of a queued download being a common factor between people who are having the same issues as I am.
