Internal exception: IO.NETTY.HANDLER.TIMEOUT.READTIMEOUTEXCEPTION

Whenever I join a server only a small amount of terrain loads. I appear to have logged in on the server console. But when I try to interact with anything: Break blocks, open chests, use chat etc. It does not respond. After a few minutes I get kicked from the server with the error message, Internal exception: IO.NETTY.HANDLER.TIMEOUT.READTIMEOUTEXCEPTION

It would be great to get a resolution to this problem.
