This is a great team if you're looking for a nice people who are willing to put in the effort to get better.

My issues are relatively fixed now after turning the QoS option off in my modem. I only occasionally have a ping spike to 200 for a couple seconds. Still not great, but I think as of now these ping spikes are probably just my shitty internet. It's a thousand times better than what it was before where it literally froze for 5-10 seconds at a time with no warning. Also I've already turned of my antivirus and tried turning off basically every unnecessary background program.

I would have upgraded years ago if It was an option the only people that will supply me internet here is centurylink, and they suck ass.

I've made some progress with my lag issues. Inside my modem settings I changed to using ipv6 (ipv4 was on by default) and I turned something called QoS off. I no longer freeze, but I still sometimes go up to 200 ping. This is a million times better than before but still isn't perfect.

I have 300kb/s download speed which I know is shit, but my ping only got like this in tf2 recently (about a month ago)

Mostly because I've just been trying many different settings to see if anything would work.

These are my current net settings.

cl_cmdrate 40
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 40
rate 35000

I've turned wireless off of my modem to see if it was a bandwidth problem and it did not help. As far as configs go I've tried a bunch of different network configs but none of them worked. And as far as graphics configs go I just have a few things disabled like rag-dolls and gibs. I've noticed that choke always goes up during the freezes as well. It usually stays at 0 otherwise.

No I am connected with ethernet into my modem. I have DSL internet where the phone wire hooks into the modem.

I'm having an issue with my TF2 where around 3-4 times every 5 minutes my ping spikes to 300 and I completely freeze for about 5 seconds. This issue only occurs in TF2 and all other games work normally. I've tried reinstalling the game, changing configs, removing all custom content and verifying the game cache. I've also tried programs like ping zapper and I've tried opening the steam ports as well as the TF2 ports. I've run out of ideas at this point, and really would like to fix this problem considering that I am currently in a competitive team.
