Yeah, I tried to switch ISP. Was thinking everything was fine, then tried to watch on ClaroTV+ here (similar to Youtube TV, Hulu Live, etc), and it was... awful. Then I figured out, the IPv6 route was going from Brazil > US > Argentina, or some other crazy crazy route. While IPv4 was just inside Brazil.

So I tried to complain to the ISP, and they just said they couldn't do anything, and if I wanted, they could disable IPv6 for me...

Of course, I canceled the ISP.

Sadly it's pretty common for several ISPs have smaller peerings with IPv6, so this is not uncommon.

My other other ISP worked super fine, but even then, they had two ASN. One for IPv4 and the other for IPv6, just to show how different they were...
