Abandoned Game?

I was playing a rapid game and suddenly it said my opponent won in the middle of the game and the reason given was "game abandoned"? I have no idea what that means or what just happened. It was their turn  and it just suddenly said I lost even though I was ahead. What does this mean?

That generally means you got disconnected from the Live server.

In that game, your opponent was the last one to move.

But it says I lost so it seems like my internet connection may be unstable maybe? It's very strange though.
