Could it be that consumer routers see less ipV6 traffic, so undetected bugs are more likely in the V6 stack on those routers? If it's a goofy router that won't stop you from getting the call, but it means you might have an answer.

I have my Own DNS servers, without a full time packet sniffer, how would you ever figure out what actual DNS lookup it did to find the host?  Middle of the day, even a less optimal data center shouldn't be at capacity.  The Wife said she was watching VUE on a different TV in the house Yesterday afternoon, and it was buffering as well. So It could be Vue and Their IP6 capacity. Still a pain to track down.

I'm going to be pulling the trigger on dual stack pretty soon. You're scaring me a little.

I would think the major CDN's are dual stack by this point.  I'm not sure if it matters, but whose DNS were you using?  It could be that the v6 DNS took you to a less optimal data center than the v4 DNS.

I haven't rolled IPV6 out to customers yet, but I am running Dualstack at my house.  Native IP6 with my own ARIN Space.  I've noticed that streaming traffic, youtube, netflix, Playstation VUE, Facebook, seem to prefer the IP6 connection.  This morning I was having all kinds of Buffering problems watching Playstation VUE, (Via Amazon FireTV box) I turned off IP6, it automatically switched to the IP4 stream, and is now flawless.  Those of you running full Dualstack deployments, do you have to do IP4/6 troubleshooting?  How do you manage troubleshooting with the customer to determine if the traffic stream is a 4 or 6, and track it down?  From the customer perspective, "the internet sucks" because things are buffering.
