Also look at the rate settings. If you have cable settings the rate is set at 20,000 which I think is alot on the internet. I use to lag quite a bit at 20,000. My ping would be in 50s but I was dropping alot of packets due to the server settings was probably set at a lower rate to control bandwidth. I would even get a disconnection icon sometimes. So what I think happens is that if you set your rate to high it sends alot more packets than the server is set to get and the server throws it back at you as an unwanted packet and causes you to have packet loss. Go to your console and type rate and see what you are set at. I set my rate at 10,000 for my cable connection and it doesnt lag or disconnect anymore. If you ask a serer admin of what rate they use..they will probably say its around 8000 to 10000. So anything over for the client will cause packet loss...Hope it helps.
