Why is my PSN messing up?

I tried loggin into my PSN account but it says "error code 8002A203" and "Playstation Network (Sony Entertainment Network) is currently going under maintenance. I tried everything from resetting the router, turning the PS3 off and on, and even resetting the network settings, yet I still can't log on. I also tried signing into their website and I can't sign in theirs as well. The weird thing is, when I use my brother's account, he can log in. Help please.

Update:

I did set up a new connection. It failed when it reached the "Playstation Network" test, so the problem is with PSN, not my Internet.

Update 2:

It is not down for everyone. My brother can log into his PSN account. Please read carefully next time.

    From the PlayStation forums:

    Hi everyone,

    We wanted to reach out to you in order to let you all know that there is a planned maintenance for the PlayStation Network scheduled for September 10th from 8AM to 10PM PDT (11AM to 1AM Eastern).

    If you’ve signed onto PSN over the past few days, you’ll still be able to play online and access apps during this period, but you may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and Account Management as these services will be unavailable. Be sure to sign in now if you wish to access the Network during this maintenance window.

    It's not saying your account has a problem. It is saying Playstation Network is under maintenance. Seems pretty simple to me. Even sony's official website is saying it will be offline from 8am PST until 10pm PST

    You would rather write a whole paragraph asking why it tells you the Sony Entertainment Network is under maintenance instead of just googling it? Smart. (sarcasm)
