When I got a new connection from Ziggo last year I got an ipv6 adres, so they seem to have started to roll this out in the Netherlands as well.

Depending on where you are in the Netherlands Ziggo will give proper Dual Stack or DS-lite to new customers. It reflects the networks that Ziggo was cobbled together from. If you are in a former UPC area you probably want to call them and ask them to downgrade you back to IPv4 (they do this for free). Their DS-lite solution employs carrier grade NAT which blows dog chunks.

Would that DS-lite solution explain why VPN connections to my AWS vps seem really spotty on ipv6 connections?
DS-Lite[0] means you have proper native IPv6 but only a tunnel on top of that for v4, so it's unlikely that IPv6 connections are negatively affected by this setup.

Edit: On the other hand, if connections via IPv4 were spotty I would not hesitate to suggest problems with NAT or path MTU.
