That would be server lag..

Meaning it's caused by AIM.. and AOL.

It's probably only temporary. For now, deal with it.

Mine started doing this two days ago too. My accounts work elsewhere and the ResNet guys at my school can't seem to figure it out either. I cant even carry on a conversation with this delay. I have tried downloading every version of AIM I can find and it the problem still persists.

It's not the isp. My university provides the internet for us and we've tried connecting other computers to my wall jack and the problem still persists. The problem resides inside my computer somewhere but no one can seem to figure out what the hell that problem is. thank you trying to help though. it's appreciated. ugh what a mess this whole thing is

er.. wait, the problem DOES NOT occur when we've hooked other computers to my wall jack. I confused myself for a minute there. Apparently it's just my pc that's doing this.
