Question About Incoming Data and Choke

Hello. Recently while playing TF2, I've been noticing I have been getting more choke than I find tolerable, and it always seems to occur when I have a huge influx in the amount of incoming packets. I know fluctuations are normal, but to go from around 350 to 1000+ packets of incoming data doesn't seem normal to me. I use Chris' max frames config. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Here is a photo of my issue (you can clearly see the spike on the net graph):

Are you using these net settings from your chris' config?

cl_cmdrate 66
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 66
rate 60000

I had a similar problem long ago and tried about 400 things to fix it. Eventually it stopped, but I could never tell how or why it stopped. I'll suggest two things to you:

1) Launch TF2 with the -autoconfig launch option. Play TF2 for awhile with default settings etc. This way you can determine if it's an issue with your config or not.

2) Use the following net settings instead of the ones you are currently using. I realize technically these settings shouldn't help, but for some reason I recall it did.

cl_cmdrate 100
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_predict 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 100
rate 100000

I've been getting the same thing for the past months. Just today I tried more things to fix it and it seemed going wired (if you're wireless right now) and setting up QOS on my router seemed to fix it.
