So you admit that IPv6 people routinely create the problem if it doesn't exist. Maybe there's some nuance where you need to go backwards in order to go forwards?
In any case it's not relevant to the case from the root comment, since the ISP doesn't offer IPv6. IPv6 folk are siding with the ISP here or getting distracted with IPv6.
Essentially IPv6 people are delusional about the state of support of the tech and the extent of issues it brings, there's regions where there's no IPv6 support, so when a network with IPv4 has an IP related problem, IPv6 folk will blame it on IPv4 even if it's entirely unrelated, even if the infrastructure isn't even at dual-stack phase.
One of the thing the ISP did was try to upgrade the connection from copper to fiber optics, like instead of understanding the issue, "let's just try upgrading from your OLD technology which is OUTDATED, no wonder you were having issues? Also have you tried turning it off an on again that helps? Talk to you tomorrow.". IPv6 guys so far have been a distraction, get walmart to run their website on IPv6 before you push it to a hospital in southamerica who is having downtime.
