ok my cs began to spike 2 months ago and the spiking happens every 5 seconds now and lasts for 10 seconds-20seconds(i cant move on cs at all). i have a dell dimension 4700 and i've played on cs on this computer fine a while back with pings in the 20s. im using optimum online (using a network cable also), i replaced my router and my cable modem but the lag spikes havent stopped and i also tried port forwarding but i still spike. and i also scanned my computer with adaware, spysweeper, and zone alarm but my computer is clean. can anybody help me?

yeah every server

have you updated your firmware on your routers? did you check out http://portfowarding.com/ ? What version of CS? What video card are you using?

Go to start run, type CMD. A dos window will open. Right click on the title bar and select properties. Make sure that "quick edit" is selected. In that new window type in:
ping x.x.x.x
x is the ip of a server you like to play on. for example ping 127.0.0.1. Copy and past the results here.

Now type in tracert x.x.x.x
copy and past the results here.
