I found I got higher latency with CS:S than I did with 1.6 I think it is the
same for everyone but 130 is way too high for your connection. I get 60-80ms
with my 64k ISDN line (40 days until my town gets ADSL mmmm 2mbit time).

I found setting my rates using the table provided here worked a treat
http://games.saix.net/guide_counter_strike.php

many people say that with DSL you should set them to 25000, 99, 99 but loads of
people I know with broadband get massive lag and packet loss with those setting.
I don't know who started suggesting that but it doesn't seem to work.

On all maps? I have a real (ping) problem with the new dust2 but great
gameplay with most others. When I or anyone near me goes 'out of the map'
(low grav) my ping skyrockets to 600. Same thing at bombsite A irrespective
of what else is going on.

Since I don't know the technical aspect of it I can only assume that dust2
was made by total hacks and the others by pro map makers.

I have posted this phenomenon on the Steam forums and had no response.
