Having a slow WAN link bottleneck on the other side could also qualify?

I think he needs to be told of the implications -- masks are not to be
slipped off their proper left bounds. You can't shorten them beyond the
class' network part and you can't (shouldn't) step on other people's
networks. As IIRC we don't know if he has private addressing, this should be
done under a network engineer surveillance.
