The forums for both games are experiencing issues as well. SE's servers are on hyperdrive and I'm not a tech geek, but I don't know if there's anything they can do about it other than wait for it to pass or to literally lock out users selectively.
I must say this has nothing to do with from where you trying to log in. I live in Europe, and having the very same issue. If this problem have to do something with FFXIV beta, well I now really wonder these issues will happen every weekend as SE will implement beta thing every weekend till game release date.

I'm a royal customer since 2006, paying every month for this game even when those times I can not play due to my work schedule cause I liked the game very much. Though, since Adoulin content released I'm not fond of the direction game is going including both new content material and recent technical issues side.
