If people connect through a UPnP-connection, this may already lag as routers are designed for average-sized streams of data but not FAST streams.
Set the max_rates as low as possible, the tickrate to 33 and try using a router-monitor or system-monitor to verify the load on your broadband.
If you are setting up a listening server or connect to your own server locally (same computer) this may already cause lags, as you should never run a server and a client on the same machine.
