that's nothing new. It usually happens when the host you're trying to connect to is impossibly laggy on your end. The main reason for that is because the host is from another country. From which country was the host you were trying to connect to?

Hmm it was American.

Not strictly correct. This used to happen when I tried joining my dutch friends server and he had better internet .
However, after 1.18 i've not seen this since .
It is the player not fully entering the room . Players will see the entry and exit of the player, but the player will not.
If it's a room you really want to get into though, you just keep retrying.
And the connection is, in my experience, ok after that.

Download speed does not mean better internet, anything above 5mbps is fine for gaming.

Ping timing is much more important, and that is the time it takes for data to travel from you, to him, and back.

Longer distances, generally equals more lag, depending on where the data goes and the quality of the lines inbetween.

Of course, that's not really under our control when we're stuck in one place.

That's true. In my case the physical distance from northern Scotland to the Netherlands isn't that far.
I do think severs have been improved in recent updates though, but i'm not fully aware of the content and hidden fixes that were / may have been implemented.

though being in the same country like a previous poster had suggested does not mean anything

The US is a big place.

You can have issues with people close to you but that's most likely nothing to do with the distance in that instance, as you said, rather another problem like wireless signal on one of the ends or slow DNS servers etc.

Canda is even bigger
