So latley my latency has gone from 50-75 up to 200-290. It only happens in every sever but the funmaps server. Did something change or am I a dumbass. If I am a dumbass please help. I have already changed all my dl & ul rates long time ago. Should I uninstall?

what is your rate at? it should be around 25000 if not play with it a little...drop it to 20000 see how it runs till you get a nice even ping its ok if it spikes up every once and a while as long as it goes back down

rate 25000
cl_updaterate 50
cl_cmdrate 101

That's what I have to use to keep my choke and loss to a minimum. Since I have started playing on these servers, using the how to guide LV wrote in the tech section, I usually run at 100 choke. No kidding. Right now my choke will spike to 10-20 on our servers and I only get 60 fps. I'm slowly buying parts for a new computer, and I might be able to change some of that soon. But for now, I'm stuck.

yes and do remember that rates are different for each computer i have my updaterate and cmdrate set to about 35 but keep playing with the settings you will find one that will fit your computer

My settings are actually good. Believe it or not my latency went back to normal. I think my internet just blows, and yes its cable! Its a company called Charter Communications and here is what they offer:Approximately 3Mbps downstream, 256Kbps upstream. And I think my download rate just got bumped up to 6Mbps
