I think the NAT isn't the issue here. The nat gets to the xbox when it comes to A. connecting to a game. or B. Hosting a game. Once they are in a game it shouldn't be a nat issue. The xbox 360 doesn't use much when it comes bandwidth. But think about it more like a VOIP call. Its very sensitive to jitter and packet loss. Also, When it comes to the xbox world the servers aren't always up to par. This is because most games have the user hosting a "server" and everyone connects to that person. Well most people don't have the internet for that. Or they are far away and the latency just getting to them is bad. So you may not be the bad guy here.

A low quality home firewall/router can also contribute. Lend the customer a different router and see if that helps.
