Things are going wrong with his current host now with his site being down way more often than it should, but he's sick of switching. How long should he wait it out and hope for the better before going through the hassle of switching again?
Well I guess you need to tell your friend to wait it out until he is fed up. Everyone is different on how they respond to these situations. Some people have patience and will wait it longer than others that need their site up and cannot deal with unsatisfactory service.

If he is getting fed up already then I think it is time for him to make a move to a find reliable host. The moving may be a hassle, but if he is after better service it is something he will just have to deal with or jsut stay where he is and put up with the situation.
