It's not as simple as that, ping latency is the biggest cause of lag. Also he could just have a really noisy line. This wouldn't matter for http where the router will re send lost packets. In a multiplayer game, once the packet is gone it's gone.

I too would like an alternative way of experiencing the full content on the game disc without having to have an xbox gold account.

The fact that I have got gold is irrelevant. I think it should say on the box if connectivity is required to access all planes. To go back to the gta analogy, u don't have to go online to unlock every car.
