I made a post on this issue on the Steam forums, and then found out it was dead, so I'm reposting this here.
-game tf -console +ip 208.100.36.2 -port 27016 +maxplayers 10 -tickrate 66 +fps_max 300 +exec server.cfg +map cp_dustbowl
I have SourceMod and MetaMod, as well as Roll the Dice on the server, however, I have completely uninstalled them, and this issue would still present itself just as often.
Here is a picture of the net_graph when it happens:

I've seen that happen on my own end when I've had connection issues, but as the original post states, this happens for everyone at the exact same time.
Since I think this is a server-side issue that seems like it can only be solved with a convar being changed, there is the server.cfg.
Any help I can get with this would be great. Even when playing with a few people, the server can get unplayable.
Quote:I recently rented a small TF2 server for my friends and I to use. However, there's a big issue that preventing us from getting the fullest use out of it - constant points where the game seems to stop for everyone. On the net graph, when this happens, the interpolation graph at the bottom spikes up for a few seconds. I didn't know that the bottom graph meant interpolation until today, so I don't really know what I can do about it. Are they some convars on the server that I can change around to prevent this from happening? Or something else?I don't know what the hardware specs are for the server. However, I talked to the people that host the server, and they said that the CPU, RAM, and bandwidth were within nominal limits. The launch command is:
