I'm getting the same bandwidth (50⇑/10⇓) and latency (10ms) on v4 and v6
with TekSavvy DSL -- but it wasn't always the case.

Tunnels hide the actual hops taken... so the latency contributions are hard
to gauge with things like traceroute.

For the most part, IPv6 is pretty seamless there days.  Except for some
unexpected holdouts like github.com, a lot of the internet is reachable via
IPv6.

If you cannot get native IPv6, you can still use Teredo (apt install
miredo).  Default miredo servers route you through remlab in EU, which will
increase latency.  Microsoft has some public North American teredo servers
you can use, although they keep renaming them.  I think "
win1710.ipv6.microsoft.com" is the one I used last time I needed it.
