Just got banned for two weeks - Need Assistance

I do not cheat, and have never cheated, and I've been blocked from matchmaking for two weeks. I've opened up all ports and had port forwarding setup for quite some time. I'm in Texas, and have Frontier as my service provider. I have no choice whatsoever thanks to Telcomms FCC rules but to use their network equipment. I can't use my own router for their services, normally I'd use my own. I do IT support for a living and cloud engineering. I've recently just been banned, and I'm very upset and trying to figure out a solution. Has anyone had issues in the past like this, and is there any way out? I have spent literally thousands of dollars on Destiny 2, and am a dedicated fan. I don't even really like doing PVP all that much, save for a reward here and there. I do like Gambit, and I can't do that at all now. I had a few error code Beetle in the past, but that's it, nothing huge. A few weeks ago they sent me some vague warning saying I was having issues. Then, a week later they blocked me straight up for two weeks. I'm pretty angry considering I didn't get any other message or email other than some in-game prompt. I have had PS5 Ports opened up, and the ports opened up as per Bungie's guide when they sent my warning. Frontier has been known to do bandwidth throttling and unfair practices that affect consumers but thanks to Ajit Pai and the FCC during the Trump admin, net neutrality was nuked. It hasn't been fixed ever since. Now I can't game? This is not largely the consumers fault I sort of feel like, but anyway, I just need some sort of out. I can troubleshoot through this, and I've been doing so the last few hours, but I don't wanna keep a ban on my account for two weeks now. I'm pretty shocked at the moment.

  • I just got PVP banned for two weeks after getting a seemingly random warning about my internet connection a week ago. My connection is apparently rock solid and I have NEVER had a warning about my connection previously since I started playing in 2017. To me this is a severe punishment for a "first time offender," and does nothing to help the player. What's worse is the next "step" is a TWO MONTH BAN. Never had any issues with connection till Battleye was implemented. Either Battleye is being overzealous with its patroling of poor connections, or someone out there has figured out that if your report someone for a bad connection that it is an easy way to get someone suspended, as perhaps Bungie may not even bother to review connection logs. Once again, these types of bans are borderline vindictive and overzealous and do not solve the issue, nor does it help to solve the issue. I play against people from all over the world with bad connections and have long accepted that's just part of the game. Bungie just made some big announcement how they're looking to help the disabled with Destiny 2. I'm disabled, and may not be long for this world, and D2 is one of my only escapes. I asked Bungie for help with my ban, and I even told them I was disabled, but got an almost automated response telling me the ban would not be lifted. Unfortunately, I think we're going to see more "Two Week" suspensions coming down soon for many more people. But guess what, the cheaters are still here with us. They just play smarter and sneakier now. That's one of the reasons I rarely play PVP anymore.
