Is abuse of them cheating? Would a site ever rule them as such if obviously abused?

You have 

Big raise PF

Flop 

Big raise

Turn  , other player goes all in for the pot, $500

...........Right clicking your broadband connection and disconnecting puts you 'artificially all in' and lets you showdown for free, without calling the bet.

Should it be phased out now that most people have reliable internet connections?

There should be a choice of tables with or without d/c protection like pokerstars have.

Otherwise it is terribly open to abuse.

Is it because it's easier for the site to sort out who gets what in the event of a mass disconnect.
