If you are experiencing lag then do a traceroute to the server IP and get a friend on a diff ISP to do the same compare the results. If there is lag somewhere along the traceroute, it should clearly stand out.

everyone experiences the lag, and im wondering if its my rates, or the server company.

It will be your server company then unless people are trying to connect from a continent away.
