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?​
