Login service currently unavailable?

They are down for maintenance releasing patch 4.2 so you should have issues till maintenance is over.  Honestly I would never even attempt to start a patch download till maintenance is over.  That is asking for issues in case in the middle of it something is changed, it could cause patch issues even after maintenance is over.  Should always wait till its over before you start.

I am having this issue now also.

The login service is currently unavailable.  please visit our forums for the latest updates on the status of this service.

I checked server status and system alerts but nothing is reported.  Does anyone else experience this issue?

SWTOR Servers are down currently for maintenance - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=895079

I experienced this problem and noted it could be my ISP.

I also noted I just needed to log into Origin initially in order to play offline which I do sometimes.

So...

1) I used my phone's hotspot to initially log in. (Or another person's different ISP access)

2) And switched back to my router.
