I suppose, but where would the bottleneck be?  His connection to the ISP
is likely the slowest link, with his local LAN faster.  Perhaps he
should fire up Wireshark and take a look.

Also, is it in fact "buffer bloat"?  Or just a poorly performing
router?  Given replacing it cleared the problem, that's what I'd suspect.

With Wireshark, he can look at all the traffic, examine the TCP details,
watch for ACKs. etc.
