Leaver Buster is starting to frustrate me

So this last week my ISP has been having issues with keeping my connection running consistently. I've called them over and over about it, and they swear that each time they've fixed it. Yet, eventually they my internet disconnects, and I end up kicked out of a game. It lasts like ten minutes, and I always come back. It's never a losing game, or in any other way a game where I would have any reason to want to leave. I also have no AFKs other than these. At least not since I got this computer and stopped playing on my laggy one that would DC me sometimes years ago. Yet, this last week my connection drops on me. I have had to sit through the low priority que BS for 5 games. Though it was frustrating I just did it and moved on. I just played a game where my connection dropped again, and came back not even ten minutes later. It put me back into the low priority BS again. I'm not going to not play the game because there is no point where I'll know for sure if the internet will DC on me again or not, and my provider swears up and down each time that it was a technical issue that has been fixed so by all means I'm given reason to assume it won't be happening. I want to know why I can get leaver bustered when I'm not gone at the end of the game or for half of the game. Also, we won each of those games that my connection dropped in so it's not even like the DC cost us the game. Why do I have to sit through this when it's obviously a rare occurence, and therefore, something beyond my control is probably the reason? I can't switch ISPs as there are literally no other providers where I live, and I shouldnt' have to stop playing just because my internet can't do it's job right. I have to wait almost 4 hours of time total in order to play games between the two times, and it's beyond frustrating. I get honors every game and never AFK. This should be punishment for that constant offenders. Not the people who have rare instances of internet failure. This single handedly makes me consider not playing anymore. I will keep playing, but if it keeps up I'm probalby not going to for much longer. I'm being punished because the people I pay money to do a job can't do their job. Surely one can see where I"m not ok with that.

The thing is you are knowing full well that you are having internet problems. You keep choosing to go into a game knowing your connection is faulty. What you should have been doing is testing your connection in customs to see how well it's doing.

All in all while I would say the system is faulty, you are also at fault here. You chose to play while your connection wasn't the best.
