Just a thought - ipv4 includes older more rural connections such as 1M
DSL out in the sticks.  That weighs the average connection time down.
v6 being capable on modern 4G wireless and fiber connections makes the
average faster.

Wherein akamai explains a detailed study showing ipv6 is "well over
10%" faster than ipv4 on mobile, and they reference corroborating
studies from Linkedin and Facebook.

Fair to ask your business 1) does mobile performance matter 2) are
you taking advantage of this 10% page load speedup that ipv6
provides?


​srs question: "What percentage of the mobile world prefers v6 over
v4?"

I ask because perhaps the market for your app is such that v6 is
actually a hinderance to the userbase... (or is slower in your
market)

Are there more holistic studies about this?​
