there has been lots of network issues recently...
i personaly (for the 1st time with my isp) have had some, so i know how shitty it is.

i have herd many things like "its the server" .. or .. "because your running 100tick on 40 slots" ..

no. thats not it. i have been looking for info and i have found this:

- many uk based servers are getting loss and choke

no guys, its not just our server, this effects 100's of people.

- (aparantly) level3 is having "problems"

when you connect to our server, you have to go "through" some level3 servers 1st. level3 are a company that offer solutions to large hosters .. like companys who host cs servers. word is, they are having problems.

i dont know what the problems are... or how long it will last.. but it could be a cause for 100's of people getting choke.

it MAY also be a cause for peoples ping to spike so high you cant play.. only for it to be fine other times.

i will keep hunting, and keep searching, but all i can do now is tell you all to sit tight as its effecting lots of people, not just us

well last nite i played it for an hour or so, and tbh i didnt have any problems, (first time in ages) avarage ping of 10, and it stayed like that, fingers crossed

I went on last nite when I managed to get steam to work. I was only on for about 20mins, checking to make sure my rates were ok, I had no loss and only 1-3 choke which made me breath a sigh of relief. For a while I thought I had a hardware problem.
