I'm rubberbanding since Saturday 30th. The lag is really odd.. there's 6 even "ticks" as seen in the screenshot, and this occurs once every 5-6 seconds. It's all perfectly consistent, which I find really odd.
Restarting router (and switch, and modem) earlier today fixed the problem for a while. Played a few games, then closed the game. Went to play some more a few hours later, and the lag was back.
Tf2 on my brothers PC (wired to switch - im wireless from a router, which is connected to the switch) doesn't get this issue.
It's also not specific to Tf2. Csgo and Reflex get the exact same lag.
Obviously I can just restart my network, but that's troublesome to do often. Anyone know why this might be happening, or how I can solve it?

Can't really say what the problem is, but I advise you get a wired connection ASAP as that fixes most problems like this, as I used to have a similar issue that was resolved by going wired.

It's a pain in the ass to even diagnose that without being on-site (frankly it would still be even then) and even if I can figure out what's causing it, it doesn't mean it can actually be fixed at all.
If you have the option to switch to wired, do so.
If not, here's some preliminary questions:
Is there anyone else on the same WLAN?
Are there other WLANs that might be interfering?

I experience a similar problem when trying to play on a wireless connection and someone else is using the same network. All it takes is someone browsing YouTube or even Facebook and I start getting lag spikes like that. I now have a long ass cable crossing my living room every time I want to play video games.

Thanks for the responses. Wired isn't an option for me at the moment unfortunately.
I actually fixed this problem..sort of. I ran a network card driver installer, which said drivers were up to date but gave me a repair option. Did that, and it fixed the problem.
Although, fired up again today and the lag was back. Ran the repair again and problem fixed.
Not ideal, but if repairing continues to fix this issue then I guess I can't complain.
I had a friend also experiencing similar issues, also on wireless. He had a USB network adapter, and ran a driver installer for the repair tool... and it fixed his problem also. Should be noted that my network card and his adapter were both TP Link.
