Where/How to fix the network card?

Where do I fix my Network card? I've already determined that is the issue (and so conveniently after my warranty expired), but xbox support has been 0 help so far.

Hi,Dylan! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

If you do not want to have it serviced by Xbox, then you would need to look for a Electonic Shop specialized in these types of repairs. You should consider that by doing so you are running the risk of having your console tampered leading to a ban.It is not common but could happen.

I would advice you to have it serviced

If your connected through WIRED(ethernet cable) it shouldn't be a problem.. my money is on the OP using a wireless connection! My suggestion is to invest in some HOMEPLUGS they are AWESOME
WHATS A HOMEPLUG??

I almost always lag when playing with my friend from Australia. But that's because I'm connecting to someone one the other side of the blue marble. I also lag when I'm in just about any party probably because the search preferences look for a good connection
for the party leader not me.

It could also be your ISP. Lol move your house next to a server.

ping is your problem, most of the time you will be connecting to players in the US even if it is one player and they get selected as host that will cause latency issues.

just as an example i checked my speed to California for a giggle which is 5200 miles away from me.

and then locally.

not much change but the ping is horrendous.

Thanks for the responses guys/gals. I'm on a 100mbit (not gigabit yet) wired LAN at home. I did a pingtest.net and I'm getting ~20ms to Sydney which is 700km away and ~40ms to Canberra which 1000km, the pings aren't that bad.

I play Counterstrike on the PC and I get ping/latency under 20ms to local servers so I don't think it is my ISP not my home network.

The fact that when I join lobbies on MW3 and it can't find a game under 50ms mean that I must be connecting somewhere outside the country? But I doubt that I'm the only one in Australia playing at any given time.

Is MW3 still client host? I don't seem to have issue as severe on BF3 and I know that they have Australian servers. Any way to force MW3 to connect to somewhere local?

Cheers for everyone who's commented above, thanks.
