my ISP gives me native v6 and a /56. I had sooo much trouble, I gave up and just disabled v6 in the kernel.

For example some sites might resolve a v6 address which is unreachable and the fallback takes ages. Some sites would resolve, connect but never load. Some must have been routing issues, etc. I'm not going to individually hunt down the issues, disabling is easier.

Hehe, my ISP offers v6, but for an extra $5/mo they're providing a static IP. I went with the latter, life has been headache free.
