So I'm sure that someone's going to say that this has already been covered, but I've been looking through threads, and my problem seems to be a bit different. I'm getting freezes in game, but without ping spikes. I grabbed some screencaps to show what I mean.

All on different servers, some diff interps just to see. I actually recently wiped my computer and re-installed everything, so I'm kinda at a loss. The freezes last 2-3 seconds, and I usually warp backwards a bit. Anyway, it's definitely a huge effect on survivability. They happen every 3-8 minutes near as I can tell
Net Settings
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
Straight from Chris' TF2 config
Launch Options
-novid -heapsize 1048576 -d3d -32bit -console -full -width 1920 -height 1080 -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -dxlevel 81
My framerate is solid all the time regardless of battle/not, how many players on server, and what else I have running on my computer. I've added TF2 to exceptions on real-time protection, opened the right ports in my firewall, etc.
Just wondering at this point if there was anything else to try. A friend asked me to play with her team this fall, so I'd like to get it figured out, but can't play with these 2-3 second drops.
EDIT: Also tried running a listen server and jumped around for 20 minutes no problem, no lag, so it's not my comp choking.

I had these before, and fixed by reinstalling. (Look for another answer first mine is kinda on the radical side)

This used to be a major problem for me, I complained a bunch to my ISP which might have been what fixed it, but the problem just went away on its own for me. I don't know if my ISP had anything to do with it really, all I can recommend is tweak your net settings and try restarting your modem, etc.

We need screenshots of net_graph 4. Without choke/loss values we can't really tell anything.
One thing that i have noticed though is that you probably aren't using Chris' settings. You are using cl_cmdrate 67 and cl_updaterate 67. Please fix that, there might still be something in your config/classconfigs that overwrites chris' config.

I'm getting the exact same problem, just started today. It's incredibly annoying and only happens on online servers, except every couple of seconds instead of every few minutes. any help?

This can be caused by a lot of things. If the server lags, you will see that pattern on your net_graph. Same thing if someone is using the same internet as you and your router decides to prioritize their download instead of yours resulting in a lack of information being sent to your computer for that block of time. Another cause of this is your computer having issues. It could be because a piece of your hardware is failing, or the game itself is not working properly, or because your drivers need to be updated.
Solutions:
1. Make sure no one else is using your internet when you're playing.
2. Update all your drivers.
3. Verify the game cache, or re-download the game.
4. If you're using an HDD and NOT an SSD you can try defragging.
5. Run a virus scan and ccleaner to make sure there are no loose programs running amok.

I don't know why but I am getting lag with really low ping. My ping is like 10 and spikes to 15 but I'm laggying?

This happens to me a lot as well, but I'm pretty sure it's because the competitive AUS servers are ass.
