You can reference this anecdote next time there's a discussion about why IPv6 
is (still) worse.

I am testing from a "native" IPv6 connection on a cable provider in Northern 
California, tracerouting to a server in Los Angeles, also with native IPv6.

The route goes 

        Cable modem
        Comcast (Northern California, Seattle)
        Highwinds (ch, ny, lo, am, fr) -- ?! Ping time jimps ~200ms here.
        NTT (Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Ashburn, Los Angeles)
        Server

The return route goes

        Server (Los Angeles)
        Telia (Los Angeles)
        Tata (Los Angeles)
        Comcast (Los Angeles, Northern California)
        Cable modem

If this happened with IPv4 all sorts of network engineers would be fixing it. 
I'd not be surprised it it's the same in X days.
