It may well turn out to not be that, but the message you're receiving implies that there is a connection issue. There also don't seem to be any mass reports at the moment either, so doesn't seem to be a global problem.
I'd suggest considering opening all necessary ports (this should change it to Nat 1 and be fully open) and seeing what happens.
You could also try contacting EA Help (help.ea.com) if you don't want to change the Nat type to open for security reasons or opening the ports doesn't bring any changes.
The only other thing I can think of right now is that you're trying to connect to servers which aren't in your region through the browser.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I’ll try switching to NAT Type 1 and see if that resolves the issue. I’ll let you know if I succeed or if I run into any difficulties.
