I sure dont pay a lot of money for my 100mb conneciton, 5ghz i7 with ssd to wait for someone else with a bad connection or crappy router. If you want to live with 1980's internet, thats fine, please dont ask us suffer it, it was bad enuf once.
FaF is a Global affair you moron. Good for you, you live in an area where fast internet is available. I am currently in University in Aberdeen, an energy and research world Capitol, and I have internet speeds of <0.5Mb/s. It was the same story in Cambridge, another research and education Capitol. It's not a CHOICE of living with crap internet, it isn't even available in 99.999% of the world right now.
All this is besides the fact that rebooting a router is nothing to do with Internet connection. Some models are faster at rebooting, some slower, and price has nothing to do with it. Sometimes the reboot time is more dependant on your ISP giving your router access than anything else, which is a problem on even faster lines. Sometimes, there is NOTHING that someone can do. You're in the middle of a ranked match and OH NO, power fluctuation due to a storm 40 miles away means your house's power supply flickers, tripping your switchboard for a second. Everything is fine, but even with your PC on an uninterruptable, your router needs to reboot. Does this player deserve to lose? NO.
1980's Internet, honestly. Get to grips with reality man.
