I can not connect to EA Servers! PS3

I bought a battlefield 3 Premium Edition game and so far I could not register on Battlelog, it always gives problem saying "Failed to connect to EA online. Please try again" and it's not my internet.
I've talked by phone with EA technical and they never solve anything just stalling.
It's been more than 7 days.

    The Media Server Connection allows other devices to connect to your PLAYSTATION 3. Often, the Media Server Connection is known to cause issues when players try to connect to the Internet for online game play.

    1. Access your Xross Media Bar menu
    2. Navigate to Settings
    3. Select Network Settings
    4. Select Media Server Connection and choose the Disable option.

    Turn off the Media Service connection can slower your PS3 internet connection (especially for downloading).

    Please enable the following online ports on your connection:
    TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 10000-10100, 17502, 42127
    UDP: 3659, 14000-14016
    For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer. If that doesn’t work, you can try to use the Google DNS service.

    Some people reported that changing their DNS to the Google DNS (Primary: 8.8.8.8, Alternative: 8.8.4.4) solved the issue. These can slower your connection as well.

    I disabled media server connection but i am still not able to play multi-player on Battlefield Hardline.

  • I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 3 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
