On the face of it it looks like different network speeds at the two addresses.
For more information and the difference between 10 and 100 Mbps and lots of other useful stuff on download/upload time/speed go here

DSL via Cable should be blistering fast.
As I understand your post, you have taken your machine to his residence, where you found that your machine functioned adequately, but slower than at your own residence, while his machine continued to fail to access the various websites that you mention. <-- Please correct me if I am misunderstanding this.
Do either/both machines run better when connected by wire (CAT5 ethernet cable)?
Do either/bot machines run better when connected directly to the CableModem via wire? (bypassing the router)
He may need to disconnect and reinstall his Cable Modem.
He may need to disconnect and reinstall his linksys router.
He may need to reinstall the drivers for the wireless adapter in his machine.
He "may" benefit by flushing his DNS client service. (If the specific IP's for the sites he can't access have become scrambled in his Domain Name Service client, flushing them out and giving another try may do it. (won't solve the "speed" problem)
Start - Run - (type)ipconfig /flushdns - enter - Reboot and try internet again.

Can we presume that the Router "antenna" and NIC "antenna" are relatively close and have no obstacles like walls, appliances and electronic equipment blocking their "line of sight"?
Wireless is generally slower than wired, but should be giving relatively brisk internet browsing and no access failures.
I'll bet you'd like to see what your machine would do on his internet connection setup.
So would I, for comparison/trouble-shooting.
Not "necessary", just interested.
his pc is newer and has more ram than mine and is way slower
Way slower? Meaning in its general functioning. or Way Slower only with regard to Internet speeds?
If Way Slower generally, you might want to Run a Pit Test over at http://www.pcpitstop.com on that machine.
Follow any Tune-up Recommendations from the Pit Test, and/or post the TechExpress link for us to review.
(I think you've run Pit Tests before?)
Best Regards
