Verizon Fios recently rolled out IPv6 last year and I swear IPv6 traffic is deprioritized. Sometimes it just cuts out entirely.

Sounds like a technical problem. I don't see any reason they should de-prioritize IPv6 traffic...

Agreed, I don't think it's intentional. It feels like at peak times, some component of their IPv6 infra gets maxed out.

If they have separate infra for IPv6 (but why?) and it's undersized compared to IPv4, it would totally make sense to observe that.

IIRC they disabled it again because the ONTs they have deployed have a firmware bug.
