Not really.  Performance on the same network can vary from area to area
significantly.  Its all a trade off of people to spectrum.

Signal strength is no garuntee of performance.  I get the same singal
strength on 3 here as at my parents.  Yet here on speedtest I get ~2Mb at
my parents ~80Mb.

Best option is to get some pay as you go sims and run speedtest.  £5 worth
of credit on EE, 3 and O2 is propably enough.

If thats to expensive, just tell him to live with what he's got.
