It is not possible for web pages to load faster over IPv6 than over IPv4. All other factors being equal, IPv6 has higher overhead than IPv4 for the same payload throughput. This means that it is physically impossible for IPv6 to be move payload bytes "faster" than IPv4 can move the same payload. In other words, IPv6 has a higher "packet tax" than IPv4. Since you have no choice but to pay the "packet tax" the actual payload data flows more slowly. --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

If frontier has a ton of ipv4 addresses, what benefit is there to them in rolling out ipv6? What benefit is there to you? I love xbox and xbox works better on ipv6, https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/wed.general.palmer.xbox_.47 .pdf Also, webpages load faster , and i love fast web pages https://code.fb.com/networking-traffic/ipv6-it-s-time-to-get-on- board/ https://www.akamai.com/fr/fr/multimedia/documents/technical- publication/a-case-for-faster-mobile-web-in-cellular-ipv6- networks.pdf On Mar 31, 2019, at 7:11 PM, C.

But, let's start thinking about ways to get Frontier up to speed on the IPv6 thing. On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 4:24 PM Aaron C. de Bruyn <aaron () heyaaron com> wrote: You're not alone. I talked with my local provider about 4 years ago and they said "We will probably start looking into IPv6 next year". I talked with them last month and they said "Yeah, everyone seems to be offering it. I guess I'll have to start reading how to implement it". I'm sure 2045 will finally be the year of IPv6 everywhere. -A On Sat, Mar 30, 2019 at 7:36 AM C. A.

But...still no IPv6. The new router's capable of it. What's the hold up? Customer service's response is "We don't offer that".
