Hmm that's a strange issue, I don't think loss has to do anything with those values...

loss is a network issue, most likely not having anything to do with your server but what is in between your server and you. is everyone suffering from this or just you? you need to take this issue up with your server provider's networking team. if it only happens when xxx number of people or more connect then it sounds like some piece of networking gear is getting overloaded.

what is the ip of your server and what network provider do they use? not all networks are the same and the source engine is sensitive to congestion.

What is the network connection? Like 10 mbps or something else.

I think you guys were from the australia hosting thingy, we fixed this in private through steam.
There was a switch/gateway in the datacenter that was broken/didn't work and was causing high losses when the amount of bandwidth increased. They have been relocated and everything works fine now.
