Auto resignation when disconnected

I am having bad connection lately, internet dissappears for minute or two, but every time i come back my opponent declares me as a loser. There could be some option like 'good/bad connection' , so auto resign option appears after different time. There could even be an option to play without this option at all, why not. Maybe internet connection restores at last minute.
The problem is your opponent doesn't know if you're going to come back and he might not want to wait to find out when he could be playing another game.

I thank goodness lichess has the option of waiting or claiming a win or a draw. I'm also glad I almost never have internet problems or computer problems.
Hey i understand those things, when someone would be searching for another game he would see the game option 'good/bad connection' or 'autoresign in 5 minutes' .. if someone is not in a hurry he wil pick me .. anyway 2 minutes is too short delay before u loose, atleast we can make it accordingly to time player have left for the game, say 30% of his remaining time
