Did this start happening around the time the engine update dropped? AFAIK the devs are aware of some odd client issues/crashes caused by that and are working on a fix.
Otherwise... I can currently only echo the above. I see nothing unusual on our end and at that point the reality of it is a numbers game; it is rather improbable that this is on our end as if it was, we'd be seeing many more people with this issue besides yourself. The internet is a complex and dynamic thing - just because other sites work fine does not mean there is no issue with your connection; if there is a congested connection somewhere between you and our servers, you might have no problem with sites and services that do not take that path - but if "the system" decides that's the best way for your traffic to get to us, then you're at its mercy. Browsing sites and streaming video aren't good measures of how well things work because those result in either intermittent connections with bursts of data, or use tricks like buffering ahead in order to smooth over any traffic hiccups. Furthermore, they usually use TCP for their data, which has a guaranteed delivery mechanism and will retry if a packet isn't received. Srcds game data uses UDP, which has no such mechanism.
Some time ago we had someone swear high and low that random lag spikes they were experiencing was "us", and that everything else worked fine, but on further investigation, it turned out the problem was their router crapping itself.
One thing you can try is before you next play, open a terminal and just run a ping to the server IP you're connected to. Leave it running during your session and if you get dropped, go back to that console window and see what's going on. I expect you'll see either lost packets or incredibly high latency. Further, you could try running a traceroute to identify where the packets are getting lost along the way.
