I have a customer who called me up on Friday, saying he had trouble with his VOIP phone, and that his service was real slow, had been slow for a few weeks.

You think his radio might be failing? I ahve no othe symptoms on channel 11 or 4 to any other clients (other than 11 is 3 db stronger to a couple of clients who are quite distant and I think are in a noisy area). And yes, this is ALL on 11b mode.
It sounds to me as if this client was simply being forced to talk at the 1M rate, which brings down your entire cell because he's taking up so much channel bandwidth everytime he has to send. This is one of the major great failings of 802.11b/g/a/etc, that clients have this type of effect.
Probbly, your single client here is able to 'hear' something that your ap doesn't, and that something is on 11 or at least within that span of frequencies. This is a game I espically hate - changing channels for the benefit of a single subscriber, to the potential detriment of others.
