Ddos or internet?

Hello,  I have tried playing ranked a couple games to have a feel for it.  On the night of July 24, the two only games I played in ranked in a row were fantastic until roughly 5 to 10 minutes into them (I legit can't keep track of time).  At which point, the symptoms of a Ddos attack started occuring, with my internet eventually shutting down for about 5 minutes (that one I counted time). 

First time it happened, on my first ranked game of the night, I blamed it on my internet connection, which is usually incredibly stable, especially on a wired connection such as I am running, making it highly improbable, but not impossible. 

Nevertheless, I tolerated the abandonment penalty and jumped into a second game.  However, the exact same thing happened: about 5 to 10 minutes into the game, symptoms of Ddos (everything stopped moving for a while and could not interact with anything), then lost internet connection for about 5 minutes again.  Now, if it's my internet connection, a second game in a row in ranked mode at roughly the same interval, with internet shutting down for the same amount of time, that's a hot coincidence.  I tried other game modes after that to make sure, and nothing happened then.  I am going to try again tomorrow and update. 

What I wish to ask is for two things: for one, how bad are Ddos attacks in Apex legends even after measures seem to have been taken to reduce them?  I am Bronze IV, so how widespread is it really?  Secondly, I wish to ask EA, if I was indeed victim of Ddos attack, why did I still have abandonment penalties?  I thought I read that the game could now detect if it was a Ddos and that a loss forgiveness was granted instead.

Will record tomorrow to see if it happens again, since I did not think of recording now to save proof and I am far from being in the mood to retry right now.

Thank you and have a nice day!
