Default Anyone else running mobile network on IPV6? Im getting slower speeds

I recently set up my APN to use IPV6 instead of IPV4. However, my download speeds are around 8 mb rather than 18 mb on IPV4 mobile network.


Is there a reason for this? Can anyone else confirm that this is happening to them?

How were you testing? Was it via an IPv4 or IPv6 host?

That's the thing, I'm not sure how to do a test on an IPV6 host. I am assuming the Comcast server here in Boulder has IPV6 because my Internet does. When tested on he tmobile server in Denver I got consistent but lower speeds.

I've noticed the IPv6 APN maybe some 10–20% slower, but not 60%!

Consider making a detailed post on how you tested, and add a post to T-Mobile's IPv6 mailing list so some of us can try to reproduce?

I have applied to the group. Whenever I get accepted I will post a detailed response.

Thanks.

DONATE TO ME
I switched to IPv6, and my speeds are better than with the standard T-mo data settings.
