I've checked my rates, my ping is fine: What else do I need to check to stop lagging? I don't see it, everyone else says it. So...any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks.

use command prompt window and do a trace route of the server's IP

Did that, I must have used the wrong IP: 66.135.40.174 request timed out on 30 hops

i never see you lag....i always kill you just fine.

me too. I guess its the other kids rates

I didn't take it seriously until Skull came in and told me. I thought, at first, that Astros and Jake were just F*CKING with me. I dunno, I just don't want to be one of those fags that lags all over the place that everyone hates.

I saw Coach skipping frames yesterday. It didn't happen every single time, but often enough. Your ping was fine, but you still had some "minor teleportation" issue. If your rates are not a problem (rate 30000, cl_updaterate 66/101, cl_cmdrate 101), that probably means
a) a spyware/trojan infection causing gameplay and bandwidth slowdown
b) windows update was running
c) modem and router needs a cold reboot.

I'd say give the modem and router a cold reboot, and run ccleaner, and make sure automatic windows updates aren't interfering during gameplay, and that someone else on your connection isn't doing any uploading or heavy downloading.
