So just this day I started to timeout for about 5 seconds periodically every 10 seconds
Occurs in both TF2 as well as CS:S and prolly every other game. Same goes for mumble and things like Skype.
My down/up speeds as well as ping are totally fine on speedtest.net and browsing the web doesn't seem to be affected either.
This is definetly not the place to ask since it's not related to TF2 or any programm for that matter, but I figured I might as well give it a shot here.
Edit: Upon loading twitch I noticed that streams time out at the exact same time as well, so browsing might actually be affected as well I just didn't notice it before

MarxistWifi?
I'm directly connected to the modem and I've restarted it about 3 times.
Edit: It seemed to have stopped for now, so it lasted about half an hour.

My only suggestion is, when it's acting up do the following if you're in windows:
run ---) CMD ---) once in CMD, type the following:
ping www.google.com (any website will work, preferably you'd try a few websites that you know the exact location of their servers - for example Whitehouse.gov is out of Chicago, Google is in California, similar type things for EU land) anyhow:
ping www.google.com -n 50
then it will run the test for a while, if you're having packet loss the report at the end will inform you of that. If you can get a test with packet loss, you can also do a tracert on the offending website and do a little sleuthing to figure out what server is killing you by looking up where the IP is from geographically.
you would type into CMD: tracert www.google.com
Once you find an IP that's repeatedly killing you + some packet loss, you can call your ISP and get an explanation, perhaps a fix, or at least a timetable for it to be fixed. If you look around google you may also be able to find a website or forum where things relating to your network are discussed which can serve as a go to when you're having trouble. I know my ISP's forums can be found on google and generally any time my internet is messed up I can go there and see various people discussing the problem specifically so it saves me the trouble of calling and complaining lol.
But it could be anything from a DNS server problem, local line issues (fiber cables messed up or phone lines messed up if you're on DSL), or some server hub getting too full/having problems.
