    This started just today so it might be nothing on my end and something with my service provider, but I thought about asking anyway.

    My connection with the internet is fine (so it seems) my webpages are brought up as soon as i hit enter. But when I go onto CS:S my ping is at a 400-700 level, getting me booted off the server or just not being able to play, I've tried my luck on about 9 serves and all with the same issue, whats the deal? How come the 'regular' internet is fine, but CS:S connection is so slow?

    I cant really pinpoint what the problem is. However, give speedtest.net a run, and see if you get proper ups and downs, just to make sure its not your overall internet connection causing it =)

    Yes that's more than enough for CS:S as a client. Are you uploading anything (torrents especially)? Are you behind a router? Have you messed with the rates in CS:S?

    :confused: I'm not uploading anything, I am behind a router, but that hasn't been an issue before yesterday. Also I haven't messed with the rates in CS:S either.

    It's Steam. Valve did another Update and screwed a lot of people over. Happend to me too and still cannot play CS:S. Guess I have to go pwn some noobs in BF2142 and BF2. :D
