Bridge thats not always availiable for most people and from what i could understand he is HOME hosting with a port forward which means that if it is then the high ping for his friend of 1000 could mean 1 of 2 things.
1) He is uploading and downloading ALOT of date on a similar scale to a torrent.
2) The router used it doing firewall checks left right and center.
If he is home hosting try putting the local address in DMZ mode (not behind firewall) and see if he can connect then. Alternatively if he is using a free or paid host then id recommend flagging this up with them as 100-200 can be caused from a gamemode being badly coded due to net send messages but anymore would mean its a network related problem.
