That is a common myth. If your computer doesn't have any IPv6

Ok, I suppose the explanation wasn't factually exact.
If your computer does have IPv6 connectivity, but it's broken
(i.e. you have a gateway, but eventually packets are discarded),
you see the IPv4 fallback after the IPv6 timeout. The IPv4 connection in
itself then would be fast.
I think it's what most users experience when they are talking about
this problem. It manifests itself on many Linux setups.
