Does the game lock up? Or is really just lag?

turn on net_graph and see if those numbers lock up when it happens.

Turn off Zonealarm if you have it, it's been found to cause lag problems. I used to have these severe multisecond lags a lot, and it was really annoying, but turning off Zonealarm helped a lot. I have since switched to kerio personal firewall and it works great with cs source. If that's not it, you might be suffering a lot of packet loss on your connection, although it would be pretty extreme to cause really severe lag spikes like that. Hope that helps!

Give more details. What kind of internet and with who? Check status and see if you have nasty choke. What is your updaterate and cmdrate set to? Are you sure it's not video lag instead of internet lag? What detail settings is it set to?

I get almost the same problem, but not as long as yours. It definitely makes you frustrated that we're the only ones having this problem.

-Netgear Router
-Sygate Firewall
-Nortons Corp. Antivirus

I've shut everything down and still got the problem. Only thing left is the Router. What router do you have?
