Alright, well at first I thought this may have been my ISP, so I switched from AOL to Be* and this did not fix the problem.

I then figured it may have been my line so I went to a friends, yet the problem stayed the same.

The problem -

Well, when playing Counter-Strike : Source and other games, information is taken in perfectly fine, however the information sent back out is EXTREMELY low (As the print screen will prove in a second) around half of the information is lost actually. However, no chokes are shown.

Below is the net_graph of what the stats actually look like -

As you can see, the output information, being the second line, is far too low. My friend's in/out are exactly equal on the far right values. Yet mine randoms from 20-50/s.

After noticing this, I have tried multiple things, updating drivers, reformatting, reinstalling CSS.

Nothing has worked at all.

Now i'll give you the names of my ethernet adapter and network card -

Ethernet adapter - Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

Network card - Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter

Extra - 1394 Net Adapter.


--------

I have no idea how to fix this problem, and the fact that with this exact same laptop I was playing games perfectly fine, then one day (I can't remember what changed, maybe an update or a change somewhere in Control Panel) games seemed to drop information, so I enabled net_graph to check the information and it was true.

I'm not sure what else i'd need to tell you all but any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Testament.:shocked:

You gave us a lot of information, but does this actually affect game performance?

I play a lot of CSS,
That rate at the far right of the screen, that is 50.something, that is your outbound tick, Your incoming is 100, so the server is 100 tick.
Your outbound tick is only as fast as your FPS, Lower all your settings and see if you can get over 100fps and like go to the bottom of the map when dead and look at nothing like straight black. When your FPS is over 100, that outbound tick should go up to 100.
You can not update to the server faster then your computer can processes the data.
also make sure your rates are right. Type these in console

cl_cmdrate 100
cl_updaterate 100
rate 30000
