whats your normal ping when not using CS?
for ex., ping www.yahoo.com

What is your answer to capybara's question?
If it is relatively high, one of your LAN computers may be infected with the Nachi worm or something similar.

Do you use software firewalls on your computers to monitor outbound traffic?

my avg ping is 65 for yahoo

and no...no monitoring

we have norton antivirus installed on all computers...

If your average ping to Yahoo is 65ms then there doesn't seem to be an obvious problem on your end. Without monitoring your outgoing traffic, it is hard to determine if something occasionally starts sending data and consumes your bandwidth.

The path to the CS server is different than that to Yahoo so there could be problems along that route. In that case, all you can do is ask your ISP to investigate. They may be able to route traffic to that destination differently.
