    For me is because it’s so fucking slow. As soon as I disable ipv6 on every device it has better speeds.

    IPv6 is trash.

      Tell that to your ISP which has fucked their IPv6 deployment up. In my experience IPv6 is actually faster since it bypasses the IPv4 CGNAT.

      On busy days my IPv4 connection can get as slow as 15KB/s, now that’s trash.

        There’s one practical thing. Routers have had years to optimize IPv4 routing, which has to be redone for IPv6. Same with networking stacks in general.

        In theory, IPv6 should be faster by not having to do bullshit like CGNAT. There’s every reason to think it’ll match that advantage if we just make it happen.
