oh yeah, that is what my pings look like over a given period on any server. I contacted my ISP and ran tracers for 20 minutes and didn't have any problems, they ran diagnostics on my modem and it was fine, even had a tech guy come out here and recap the tips of the cables after he checked them. Same stupid crap. Is there somehting i can do to fix this, some little patch floating around the forums i may have missed or something? because this is getting really old,, seeing a fade around the corner of the hive on Co_Faceoff, se him blink at me, then stop mid blink....the next thing i see i'm spectating someone else. Frigging lame.

I have a cable connection, and i pay the extra $5 a month for the double bandwidth:) 4.4mb down and 512 up. What other settings do you need?
AMD Athlong XP 2400+ @ 2.013 ghz
Epox 8rda3g w/nForce 2 Ultra 400 (4.27 driver)
Kingston pc2700 HighPerformance DDr 512 with heatsink
BFG Asylum GeForce FX 5900 128 mb set at 400/850 (61.77 driver)
D-Link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet Card
Directx 9.0c (was doing this to me on 9.0b also)
anything else?

Your rates are really low for your connection speed, I'd recomend a cmdrate of 100 and and an updaterate of 30. Those are the highest possible rates with a default server config (max updaterate is set serverside with sv_maxupdaterate). They shouldn't lag you at all based on how much bandwidth you have, you can watch for choke and loss with net_graph 3. Choke is when theres too much data flow and its choking trying to send it all, dispite popular belief, choke is not client side only, it can be server sided. If it is server side, theres nothing you can do, find a new server to play on. Loss is when somewhere along your cable lines packets are being dropped for one reason or another, sometimes bad network cards can cause this, but its usually a break in your cable line. If this happens, try a new nic, then if it's not fixed, call your cable company and explain. Also check the "rate" command in console, setting it to the max (rate 20000, highest possible by default sv_maxrate) can help.
Anything above it just makes it more laggy.

Its not possible to use above 20000 with the default server config, the max rates are set server side, rate is set with sv_maxrate. It's the same with cl_updaterate, sv_maxupdaterate by default is 30, thus the highest you can use.
regardless of the nerdery, i greatly appreciate everyones timely response :-D (for the record i'm probably a nerd too) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> thanks everyone
