It's mostly mine craft, but not just for that game or just games total, any type of servers I want to join I just can't, and when I do, it lasts five minuts and then crashes with a crash report with most of the errors server related, and some people say it's the server itself but I have tried servers that I know would be up and running, I recently just got a new iMac, and I downloaded Minecraft and it's when I started noticing I can't connect to servers, I thought it was just the Mac so I went to my Laptop (PC) and tried it there, same problems, so I knew then that it was router/Wi-Fi related, I read that if you have a ping lower than 25MS then you can't get into servers, my ms is ranging between 40-125 ion most cases 40-80, and I have a download speed of 52 mbps and an upload of 3 mbps. I can still host and connect to my server. So I thought it was the firewall, so I went and it's still on the low setting and I can't access what it's blocking and such. If someone can help me that would be very helpful, and I don't want a bunch of people saying they I have the same problem, I want real answers, this is very important for my YouTube and my parents's jobs.
Why can't I connect to any servers?

Be sure that the servers are not the problem. Ask friends to try and connect and see if they get the same problem. If your friends have no problems, then it's something with your home connection. 52mbps download and 3mbps upload is sufficient for minecraft. Your ping is not the problem either.
To me it seems like something in your household is causing you to disconnect. Check your router to be sure everything is working properly.
