Science, why is it taking so long to connect to TF2 servers?

It seemed to get better a couple months ago. But now my connect times are out of control again. Just tonight I timed it, and I was sitting at "getting server info" for 3 minutes and "sending client info" for 5 minutes before I quit and tried again.

Loosely related to the OP but latency has doubled for me since yesterday and everything seems ok in terms of my internet speed and such... I can't find a single game below 60 latency and with the amount of time/money I've speant on TF2 it's a real scary situation for me.

Any way to diagnose what's wrong/fix it? Any help would be really appreciated.

Update: Either that 1% fragmentation made a hell of a difference, or it was my antivirus.
