PS3 ERROR CODE 8002A203?

On PS3 I just recently started getting the error code 8002A203 and when I go to sign in it says that Sony Entertainment network is under maintenance, but I have another account which is signed up as a UK account (the error is on a US account) and I have friends which are of course American that are added on this UK account and they aren't having a problem with any type of "maintenance" or error code. I restored my PS3, still nothing, and even when I go to fix my connection it says that it identifies my IP and all that but once it gets to the Playstation Network, of course, it fails. When I do it on my UK account it is nearly the same, just the UPnP thing fails and I can't play any games online, I can only just log in and talk to people via message or chat. Does anybody have a solution to this? Hope you can help!

    The PSN is undergoing maintenance from 8am to 8pm PST today. So yes, it is a PSN error due to maintenance. Wait about 7 hours and try again.

    The playstation network is down, but if you had signed in a couple days before you could still sign in and play online but the store would be down. Your friends must have done this and you probably did this on the account that works.

    I have two accounts that I sign in with everyday. My secondary account logs in fine and I can access all the online game content. But my primary has the 8002a203 error and will not log in at all. And i still have access to the internet through the game console. So it is not a router issue.

    I have three accounts on the same console. I can log in with two of the three, but not my primary account. It is not a network down, and if it is a maintenance thing, it is only affecting my primary account.
