Unable to Connect to Mass Effect 3 Servers

Whenever I try to log into the EA servers it tells me "The Mass Effect 3 server is unavailable at this time. Please try again later." I'm playing the game through Origin, so I don't think that's the problem. I'm not sure what to do about this, does anybody know what to do?

    Are you on a private or a public (university) network?
    Does your EA Account email address or username contain special characters?

    Restart your router in this way:
    Pull the power plug > wait 5 minutes > return the power plug
    If that not helps, shut down your Windows firewall and disable the real-time scanner of your antivirus software.. (just for testing purpose, don't forget to activate the firewall and the antivirus software later on.)
    Should it work after you disabled the firewall, here is a description how to allow a program to communicate through the firewall.

    This ports must be open on your Router:
    Origin Ports
    TCP: 80; 443; 9960-9969; 1024-1124; 3216; 18000; 18120; 18060; 27900; 28910; 29900
    UDP: 1024-1124; 18000; 29900
    Me3 Port
    Port 3659

    Clearing your DNS cache or testing a google DNS could also help.
