I've been so frustrated lately. Minecraft is lagging so much and crashing-- I found somepony on the internet with the EXACT same problem, but there was no answer. Here is how it was described:

"To start off, here's the basic scenario: I start minecraft, log in (which suddenly takes longer than it ever did before, but not by much), go to multiplayer, then select the server. All good so far, for the most part. I'm able to play on the server for about 20 seconds, until it suddenly freezes. This freeze isn't as in I can't move or minecraft stops responding, but a very differing kind. Primarily, I can't open chests, I right-click and nothing happens, I destroy a block but no blocks pop out, everypony stops moving. That seems generic for lag, however, something else happens. From this point, it either goes two ways. One way is that in about 30 seconds, boom, everything suddenly happens, chests open, characters move like lighting, I randomly get a bunch of blocks (Soon, a few seconds later, the problem repeats however). The other way, the more common one, is that eventually about after a minute, "Internal exception: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" appears on my screen. This has been screwing with me recently and really been bogging down my experience."

Well that's EXACTLY my problem. My internet is FINE. I reinstalled Java. Checked my firewalls. Ate some chocolate. Haven't tried reinstalling Minecraft cause I would lose my mods. I'm pretty sure this problem is only for your server.
Also, for some reason, it only happens to me; everypony else is fine. It only kicks me. Also, here's a pic of the error:

o.o; While your internet may be fine, perhaps the speed is an issue? Typically, when you get a Socket Timeout in a java application there is an issue that occurs somewhere in the transferring of data. Either the TCP couldn't establish a connection at all, which isn't your case, or because it is taking so long to connect to the host/continue to receive data, the client times out and kicks you off (Java's default Socket Timeout is said to be set at 60 seconds by the way).

Also, I have the same exact problem depending on what connection I'm using. For me, my campus connection is much much slower in comparison at home and likewise, Minecraft reflects this, booting me from pretty much any Multiplayer server within a short amount of time.

Other than that, I would tell you to do what you've already done, reinstall java, check firewalls and you might just have to reinstall Minecraft. If it isn't the connection speed, then there might just be something going on with the client that's hindering the connection.

Thanks for giving a bit of explaining. This lag seems to have gone away now, though. It might come back, so I might edit this post.

EDIT: It's been almost an hour with no lag. Now Pinkie Pie can stop complaining when she uses my computer to go on Minecraft with my account on the Brohoof Minecraft Server... "Oh, COME ON! It's SO laggy! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasefixit!!!" Time to rejoice.

That is all.

EDIT 2: The problem came back, then I threw a tantrum then I looked it up a little more and no one had a solution because of Notch's or Jeb's or whatever's lazy ass, typing one word per hour with shitty network coding :L

Then I was like, "screw this."

So I did a system restore and everything is fine again, no lag at all. I recently installed some drivers, and I read somewhere that may be the cause of this Minecraft error. Well, it was. Yay.
