Hey, for the last week or so, on KWS and a few other servers, every 40 or so minutes my ping goes from 40-45 to 100-140.
My computer is the only one on in this house with all programs besides TF2 and Steam closed.
Before you ask

C:\Users\priorax>tracert 203.14.173.217

Trace complete.

This only happened after the last batch of storms in Melbourne. I have checked cables in my house for water damage, and rebooted my router far too many times to be healthy. Any other ideas?

Change your rates.
Its definately something on your side of the line so it could also be ur connection.
Try your rates first.

I'm going to post these for everyone to try and see if it helps fix lag issues for some of the guys. Changing your rates for your ideal settings may improve your lag and pings a little.
At the moment our server is set to:

// bandwidth rates/settings
decalfrequency 30
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxupdaterate 67
sv_minupdaterate 0
sv_mincmdrate 0
sv_maxcmdrate 67
fps_max 600


Open console and set YOUR rates according.
Start at:

rate 25000
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66

* start at cl_cmdrate 66 & cl_updaterate 66 - slowly start to decrease the number from 66 down to about 30 and check in between to see if there is an ideal setting.

give that a go and see if it fixes some issues.
I've reconfigured our server rates a little and hopefully that might improve the lag situation.

Check with your ISP. To me it looks like they arent taking the most direct route to connect to other ISP servers.
Theres alot of factors.
Go through ur router settings as well and check that they're optimized. It could be someone else at home using the net at the same time since u said ur ping hops as well.

If the same thing is happening across a few servers then it's definately not ours. not to mention I havnt been gettin lag lately, havnt heard of anyone else in the past week

I expected it to be something on my end, but I was hoping someone could explain to me a reason why
