IPv4 is still king for now, imo. Most networks are tuned for it, and IPv6 adoption is patchy. Yeah, IPv6 *should* be faster, but if your ISP half-asses it (like yours does), IPv4 will win.

Try MTR or PingPlotter to compare latency between IPv4 and IPv6 routes. You’ll see real numbers, not just theory.

And nah, the bigger address space doesn’t make IPv6 faster—just future-proof. Speed comes from routing efficiency, not address size.
