I have the same problem on my Cox cable internet (the fastest package) and I can't tell you how much it drives me nuts. Sometimes I'll connect no problem. Other times it'll be like 10 minutes before I finally can connect. I've tried everything from reinstalling, resetting my modem/router. My suggestion is to contact EA customer support. You'll probably get generic answers, like reset your modem, reinstall, but you never know! I'm gonna do the same. Good luck!
