Origin (EA) and Saix Outage

[Vehemenz]

Good evening.

I am aware of the SAIX outage. Unless it has been completely sorted out.

Anyways, to my issue:

Since last night i have been nearly unable to connect properly to Origin and let alone, connect in-game to the FIFA 13 EA servers, keep getting a "unable to connect to EA servers". Currently still have the issue as at 20h45 on 10/11/2012.

Does this still have to do with the SAIX outage? I live in Sasolburg in the Free State, about 60km south of Joburg.
I am aware that Vereeniging is having issues. But my problems started before they had issues.

1 thing to note is that i am able to play Battlefield 3 online.

Cannot install NFS Most Wanted as it does not want to verify code on Origin (possible SAIX outage also) ?

Any clarification or help would be appreciated.

EDIT: just did a ping to easo.ea.com and got this

On friday night everyone was kicked from BF3 and Origin that I know of. 20 minutes later all fine.
Since then I have also struggled to maintain connectivity with origin.

I use MTN 3g so dont know how that would get effected by Saix.
