pretty much the combat has a delay (i'll get attacked when it looks like i'm at a safe distance from mobs, skeleton's arrows hit me as i strafe and i don't see them coming, etc). this is pretty annoying and i got this on my crappy DSL connection at my old place but now i have a broadband connection, so i thought it would be gone. i don't know anything about connection speeds but speedtest.net gave me these results:
download speed: 15.44Mbs
upload speed: 1.56 Mbs
so is my internet too crappy?
i know it's definitely not my hardware! haha

$20 if you know what my avatar is from. not really though.
That's just your bit rate (how much information you can transfer) it's irrelevant to the time it takes that information to go from your computer to the server and vice-versa.
Most likely you're just far from the server geographically, the further you are from the server the longer it takes the information to reach it (you know, speed of light)

thanks a lot everyone who replied, i wish i was able to get back to this further! yeah this server is in PA and i am in TX... that makes a lot of sense to me why it would lag.

PA as in Pennsylvania? That isn't too far from Texas. Not in terms of lag, anyway.
really? geographically speaking, in terms of distance in the United States that's definitely pretty far, but i don't know anything about relationship between distance and lag.

same continent should be fine
EDIT: with good (paid) server hosts

Nope.
All the lag occurs because of the host. Better the host's computer, less the lag.
