PC Servers down?
I've been trying to play ME3 for hours now, and it keeps telling me that the EA servers are offline, and I can't play either singleplayer or multiplayer.

When I first boot up my PC, then Origin, then the game I connect straight away. When it does a DLC check it loses connection saying that "you must be connected to access online features" etc. I click 'Connect to EA' again and generally it connects and all is well.
If I then chose to access the Store during multiplayer, either to purchase supplies or to redeem Victory/Commendation packs I lose connection to the online features and am returned to the main menu. From here no matter what I do each time I click 'Connect to EA' I am met with the message that the Mass Effect servers are unavailable. The ONLY way I have been able to get back to being connected is to fully reboot my machine (not just the game or Origin).
I have logged a case with EA Support (#05673817) who advised me to update the game. I have done this, and downloaded the new patch released yesterday which has not helped with the above scenario in any way.
