Ya the "x" was for mani
The CS tech guys I have talked to in the past have always said that once you get to a certain speed the cl_cmdrate won't matter anymore because servers are only capable of going to 100 packets. This speed was met some 7 or 8 years ago DSL and cable shouldn't matter. The 101 is for the additional packet you are sending for the error check.
the cl_updaterate 101 and cl_interp .009900990099will be optimal on 100 tick servers. cl_updaterate 60 and cl_interp .0166666 is for 60 tick servers.
I am sure that there are ways to tweak the netcode more accurately but you would have to change your settings every time you changed servers, or your connection was a little slower, or whatever the case may be, and it would give you headaches thinking about it.
As for DSL versus cable. DSL is typically slower but has a more stable connection, where cable loses packets, in general. That being the case, if your having problems with choke or loss I would recommend decreasing your cl_rate and rate if you have cable, so the packet loss is less noticeable.
In the END, we are talking about very small differences. The main thing is to make sure your cl_interp and cl_updaterate are set at
cl_interp = 1/cl_updaterate
