Since the last update, my CSS ping has shot up from being aroung 16ms to about 128 - 205ms Im on a uni network, which is 10MB. Also, it has crashed more than usual. Anybody know what i can do to bring it back down to a playable level?

pings may be due to problems on your uni network, check with them. Also check your not refreshing your server list or updating any games at the same time.
As for crashes, perhaps try a reinstall if you've got time or delete your clientregistry.blob files. Also try removing any overclocks.

I've started getting stupid amounts of choke... like 60+ at times, but my ping is normal. And my framerate drops to like 20fps in a firefight, the game is unplayable for me now. 
Dunno how to help you, but i thought i'd have a moan about it and this seemed as good a place as any.

I get this also, I had just put it down to my wireless connectinon (see my thread) but if other people are getting it then maybe its a steam thing. <sigh>

What i did to stop choke was to put this in the console :
fps_max 80
this fixed it for me, and;
cl_upspeed 256
is was on 320, but i believe adsl is 256 upspeed so i changed it, seems to play better now also.
I changed my rates also:
cl_updaterate 101
cl_cmdrate 101
all this stopped my choke and loss issues.

cl_updaterate 101
cl_cmdrate 101
is not possible, reverts to defult setting of 30/20 iirc.

doesnt it relate to the tickrate? Say if a servers tick was 66, you should set your cl's to 66? I'm sure i heared that somewhere..
Well I tried the fps_max and cl_upspeed tricks to no avail, I just bounced around the map even faster was really strange. I was already aware of the 101 not working and I have heard the same as Psypher about setting it to server tick rate.

youll actually reg on people. You will find that your able to kill more, well, does for most, and if not, people will actually be able to reg on you

if when you recover from the lag all the physics resets (i.e. dead bodies fall with ragdoll) and you see all ** weapons in the yellow buy icons on the righty, its a steam problem, something to do with the new upload/download thing they did in the last but one update. Hopefully be fixed with next update though :S

101/101 are lan rates. End of.
Even if you're on 10MB you shouldn't use anything above 90 imo
