Perhaps we might list those things that help him to prove
poor access.  Here is a short starting list several of which
others have already mentioned:

Thing to measure          tool to use

RTT (pings)                smokeping
traffic levels              MRTG or other SNMP tool
input/out errors            MRTG or other SNMP tool
dropped/discarded packets   MRTG or other SNMP tool
circuit flaps               MRTG or other SNMP tool

Can others add to the list?
