1.6 lags while 1.5 does not

[bizat]

ok so i think ive found my problem out, and it is not very reparable. i am on a T1 LAN at my university. there probably is a maximum bandwidth taht i can use, and 1.5 does not require near as much bandwidth as that horrible creation that is steam, and thus, my ping is insane. i heard steam is like running 1.5 and AOL at the same time. it sucks...

I think its possible to play 1.6 without steam in sure it was on the forums.

Well there's nowt wrong with the connection then. It must be something else. Is anything else running in background?

Nothing running in the background
