I rent a dedicated server from Gameservers.com with the following specs:
Dual Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz CPUs
4GB RAM, 160 GB SATA Drive
Unlimited Bandwidth [100MBit Port]
Windows Server 2003
New Jersey location.
Running multiple Left 4 Dead servers, the pings are somewhat bad and players/bots will "spike", by this I mean they will do mini-teleports across the map. It's really noticeable when big things are going on in game, like if somebody startles a witch while a horde is going on. The server is playable for sure, but I'd like to have it running as smooth as possible because it should be. I've tried tweaking some cvars with no luck. Anything I could try would be appreciated.

I actually fixed this, I had the game running on a secondary IP instead of the machine's primary IP.

Nope, it's back again.
Edit: I found out whats causing it! When the lag occurs, the server runs at 21fps, when it doesn't occur, the server runs at 30fps. What's making it run at the lower fps?
Edit2: It happened again because I closed windows media player, didn't think it really did anything, I guess I was wrong. Solved.
