What do you mean by lag?

Connection issues, or your simspeed is slow?

Simspeed is the speed the simulation (game) runs at

As more things are happening, people's pcs start to be unable to run the game at base speed, so it slows over time.

Since I explained that, i'll assume you mean you are having connection issues.

Can you describe what happens in more detail? What can you see when you hit f11?

Really sounds like a connection issue. What internet do you have?

about F11: when you hit F11 you will see big window showing ping to other playes, but also in top right corner there will be smaller transparent window with network stats, there is a "behind" column, you can sometimes say who is lagging if you look there.
pings below 500 are usually fine and don't cause lag.

it should not happen when you play with AI, that is kinda weird :?

Next time you play with people, when you have this lag, can you press F11 and see if there are high ping spikes or numbers in this "behind" column in top right table.
Then we can say with much higher certanity if lag cause by connection issues or not

Edit: download speed is often does not indicate stability.
