Hello, I have been playing minecraft with no problems for quite some time now and just recently I have been having an issue where I can play for about an hour then I start having horrible lag/delay that makes my game unplayable and I have to wait hours, sometimes days before I can play again. I first encountered this problem while playing on a server one of my buddies was hosting. It was only affecting me so he insisted it was not his internet. So I rented a server through hosthorde and set it up and was able to play for about 5 hours before the same problem happens again. I have googled for hours and hour trying to figure out what is wrong and find a solution but I still come up with nothing.
I have done everything I can think of to fix the problem but nothing seems to be working. I am running window 8.1 Professional.
I have re installed minecraft
I have reinstalled java and fully updated.
I have forwarded minecraft ports. deactivated firewall and disabled my antivirus.
I have even went as far as to format my hard drive and reinstall windows.
Nothing has fixed the problem. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Delayed response. Everything I do takes around 1-3 minutes. to actually go through. I can play every other game with 0 lag it just seems to be minecraft
well then, my last guess is that your upload speed isn't fast enough to accommodate the communication with the server.
That type of lag is always associated with network issues, so at this point it boils down to your upload speed or an issue with your ISP. I would contact them about it and see what they say. But don't tell them it only happens in Minecraft, just say it happens in general. Might get a free upgrade from it XD

Cast aside your festive doylaks: dragon stuff is about to happen.
Multiplayer is lonely once you understand how it actually works.
Are you updated to Minecraft 1.8? I have alot of lag on it as well. It's probally not just you. Try running it in 1.7 and see if it's still there. If it is,then something's wrong. If it runs fine on 1.7,then it's normal. 1.8 has alot of lag issues

Not for everyone. It runs flawless for me, and ive tested on 3 different computers.
Plus this is network lag, not performance lag.

Yep, diffidently Centurylink at finest lately.
I have Centurylink DSL, so I know for certain how this is.
There is times that I just have absurd latency in any online game.
About a year or two ago, Centurylink was pretty amazing for latency and quality. But this year, they are declining severely, regardless of where you live.
To give example for Minecraft. Few weeks ago few friends and I did a Bevos modpack server. While it may been hosted in the UK, the host had 120Mb down, 6Mb up, which is far enough for 3 people. The server also had plenty of resources computer wise. However I would get like 30~ secondary delays at times, if average were 5 to 10 second block delay for every action done.
I do wish you good luck OP, I gave up on them lately because they are only ISP I have at time in area, besides Rip-A-Lot Hughes Net. Their rating has greatly declined over time, from what were 4.5/5 star on Speedtest, to 2/5 now. That says something.
Yes, century link has declined so much. I have decided to switch my ISP to cable one because they are the only other ISP around here that is worth even trying.
