The only ISP not putting out v6 widely is SFR, and thankfully they've gone bankrupt and we will be rid of this scourge.
The connection is solid, though - thus my lack of enthusiasm.
One of the huge holdups for v6 deployment was the absorbtion of the then DOCSIS2-based Numericable, which required a huge migration to DOCSIS3 to even support it, as well as integration of the whole network backhaul that came with it.
The reputation _was_ justified at some point far back but they turned the ship around a long time ago and is now entirely an unjustified meme.
These past years it's been SFR (via RED) who was keeping the prices competitive, so I can't wait to see the remaining three vultures collude to raise the prices back up again /s.
> People just get pissy because Free refuses to pay for peering with Google for e.g. Youtube, and it feels slower, even more on v6.
Well when one's paying for a heavily marketed "the fastest around" 1Gbps+ connection or something, and it indeed negotiates the link at that, but one can't play a 720p video over that tube because backhaul routing sucks, one has a right to be annoyed.
