I have been having this problem for a few days now and no amount of trawling through search results online seemed to be getting me anywhere.
Just been on the phone to sony tech support and , long story short, the UK team said they have a problem with the volume of traffic hitting their servers due to the easter holiday and it is being worked on. It is believed that some ISPs are traffic shaping (no, really?!) and this is resulting in some connections to the playstation network being blocked by their firewall.
Not sure if this is a cover all excuse but it seems feasible. Their advice to solve the problem was to open the following ports on my router;
tcp 80, 443,5223,10070 range and 10080 range
udp 3478,3479,3658,10070 range
As I usually have my PS3 in a DMZ (the POS router provided by sky is a pain to config) I queried why this would be an issue.
The best advice they could then give was "keep trying, you will connect eventually." While I realise they are limited in what they can and cannot say, and what they can do to help, this seemed like a cop out.
Anyway, excuse the rambling, hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
