Starfish & Samhein
After reviewing your rates and the way that you lag, skip, stutter, etc. I can begin to see a few things that may assist you in your game play experience.
1- The rate settings that you both have,
Name Steam ID UserID rate cmd update interp
Starfish :3 STEAM_0:1:16342134 652 30000 30 20 0.03
Samhein STEAM_0:0:853051 631 35000 30 20 0.03
apparently are set a bit wrong, IMO. If you were to BOTH set your rates to 20000 and leave the rest alone, I do believe that would help you. My guess is that you don’t have high end single or dual graphics cards so the 20000 will help in that regard.
You also may want to do a DXDIAG from the run command from start menu and see where you stand on your driver dates and versions then check to see if there are newer ones available for your sound card, graphics card, and CPU. Also check the bios dates and versions for your motherboard to see if they are the most recent.
From your start menu and run command bring up the msconfig controller and use a selective startup an the go to the startup tab and uncheck everything except your antivirus ensuring that you have no background programs running. You can still access these programs when needed manually.
Run your disc cleanup from accessories>system tools and delete all unneeded files of junk, then do a defrag on your OS HD, usually (C.
Startup your Steam program and verify your integrity of cache files then do a file defrag.
Look in the cfg file –typically --- C:\Program Files (x86)\STEAM\steamapps\bjsorchid\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg --- and add the line:
fps_max "300" // Caps framerate. Set to max monitor refresh rate + 1.
Also set the decals to a low number so that sprays won’t bog you down from the steam UI. (10-15)
These are but a few of the things that you can do to help you run better without spending any money for upgrades to offset the poor IP.
Depending on which OS you are running you may find some useful tools to help you network at http://www.speedguide.net/ , there should be some info there also on how to custom configure your connection properties. Hope this helps.
@DeadEyeDeNNi$ The most I've banned people for lagging was about 5 mins, if I ever did. Usually I would kick them. I've been an admin too long to remember. If it disrupts gameplay for everyone, AND you've warned them, you have a legitimate reason to do so.
@Starfish If MSN lags you, you shouldn't be on MSN while playing Counter-Strike. Seems simple enough to me.
So is starfish unbanned?
For what I reiterate AGAIN is something that never should have happened to begin with.

Please, do not fuck with me.... I do my job way better than most of you and I put my heart & soul into keeping IBIS safe & sound. If you, let me rephrase that, If ZERO does not think that I have the best motives at heart, I will quit not only admin, but CSS itself...
Meanwhile, I stand fast in my previous posts and also the assistance that I have offered to Starfish and her BF.
Also, and I'm sorry to have to use this, but even tho Walter is not respected in the IBIS community anymore, he does have a good point.
If you have a shitty system, a shitty ISP, and OA not one, but TWO people playing on all of the above, then PLEASE stay the fuck out of IBIS and lagging our players because you have already admitted that you have a bad IP yet you try to play Two PPL as well as MSN? WHAT THE FUCK IS Wrong wITH THIS PICTURE??????
Goddamnit, now you have totally pissed me off and after I have not only tried to help IBIS, the players on the server that have complained to the utmost when she AND her BF were playing and IMing at the same time, you try to shit on me in public?
FUCK YOU
Sorry that I have to be so blatant but GOD ALL MIGHTY take a fucking break!!!
Starfish, please follow my instructions regarding you're lousy IP and equipment and then return as I have unbanned you & your BF.
This is just a prelude to the rest of the public that strains our servers because if you have NO RESPECT for what & who is behind where you are, then someone will try to make you AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope that they are more successful and better received than I was

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!!!
If I fuck up the server(s) and cause ppl to lag like she + he did, then I not only advise it, I DEMAND it! Not only for me, but for ANYONE that disrupts the server to an extent that ppl complain and you can see, and record, the dysfunction caused by their presence...
When ppl cause mayhem on a server that disrupts our members and guests, then they need to leave until they fix, replace, repair, etc to be in the proper environment without causing disruption...
EDIT:
Please click on my link below my name regarding my conn -- http://www.speedtest.net/result/702238873.png -- I doubt that I'll have any problem regarding this matter
