Hey there,

I am new to these boards, but i think i can help the OP ( original Poster ).

I play Counter-Stike and and CS:S ( CS for 4 years ) and i have BY 1mb, ( used to have 512k so this is where i can help ). Rate usage of CS / CS:S servers can vary, some set minrates others leave it to the client side to determine. In my opinion, with BY 512k / 128k you should be using "rate 20000", "cl_updaterate 101" and "cl_cmdrate 101" for your connection type. When in CS:S, do /net_graph 3 and you will see on the bottom left of the screen a net graph of your connection to that server. Will also show choke and loss, and if u can, you want these numbers both to be 0. If you do get choke / loss, reduce the rates, i.e "rate 18000", "cl_updaterate 80" and "cl_cmdrate 80" and so on.

With BY 1mb i also have 128k upload speed, and i ping Dustworld servers at 20 / 30 and other servers at around 40 / 50. This is normal and its not bad.

If you need further help, post again, maybe with ur email and ill see what i can do.
