This slowdown is often caused by bargin bin DSL Routers as I have come acrossed it MANY MANY TIMES.  Generally the only way to fix it is to remove ipv6 just like he says.. It would be really nice if we could have IPv6 disabled by default and easily enabled for the VERY FEW who actually use it. <div>On 11/9/05, Phillip Susi <<a href="mailto:psusi@cfl.rr.com">psusi@cfl.rr.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> He is saying that the slow down is caused by your broken ISP, not IP6. He is saying that your ISP is telling your computer that they support IP6, when in fact, they do not.  This causes your computer to attempt to use IP6 first, which fails, then it falls back to IP4.  That is where the slow down comes from.  Once you disable IP6, it stops trying to use it, so you see things speed up. When your ISP does not lie to your computer and say that it supports IP6 when it really does not, you don't get this slowdown.
