Q: Why such a delay in the sync function of iCal ?

I am running a MacBookPro and iPhone5S.  I have been successfully using iCloud and iCal for several years now across numerous iPhones and just in the last 3 days, I can load an appointment into my MBP and several hours later it still does not appear on the iPhone calendar.

 

I have tried resetting the devices.  I have turned iCloud off and on, on both devices separately and simultaneously, nothing is getting me back to instantaneous syncing.  I used to be able to load my MBP and then watch my iPhone make the identical update sitting alongside me.  This is incredibly frustrating right now.  Especially when I load data into a calendar event to take to a meeting and then its not there when I have walked 30 minutes to the appointment.

 

Anyone have some advice ?

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.1
