For the past couple of weeks my TF2 characters have been moving very slow. It doesn't matter what character I am they all run at about 75% SPEED.
At first I thought it was some sort of server lag but it happens on every single server I play on and all ping times as far as I can see are great(<100).
FPS is very high as well.
What could possibly cause this?

Check your video card temps and CPU temps. Check for viruses. You know, all the normal stuff. Are any other games showing the same symptoms?

Start a local game w/ just yourself to see if it's a network prob or something else. If it still happens then spittledip is probably right and things are overheating. Make sure your fans/heatsinks are cleared of dust as that can get temps going very high very fast.

All my temps are good with the exception of the southbridge which peeks at 70c. That however is not unusual for a 680i.
I'll try local game.

Well I decided to enable opendns and somehow that fixed the problem.
Don't really understand why though since I had good ping times.
