snaps 40 and rate 25000 for starters

but your isp and routing is probably the issue here. Try pinging an ip in the command prompt

start/run/cmd

then ping your favourite servers using the ping command (don't include port in the address)

see if the ping shown matches your ping ingame. If so, then there's not much you can do, unless there is other stuff slowing down your net connection.

what are you using to browse servers?

Don't use the ingame browser - try qtracker instead.
