I just had Fiber to the home installed (944Mbpsdown/980 Mbps up). Blistering speed but when I would click on a link to load a web page in Chome/Firefox/Edge it would take 10-20 seconds to load if I was lucky. Some pages loaded quickly, a few others would simply not load. Doing some Google troubleshooting, someone mentions setting my Ethernet DNS server to Google. I tried it with just IP4 but no pages would load. I then tried setting BOTH IP4 AND IP6 to Google and now the web pages download instantly! What happened? WHY did it happen? Did I set my DNS settings correctly (looked for a tutorial but found only DNS over HTTPS which makes my DNS settings not able to save)? Did I do this correctly? Heh, I am confused! Happy I seem to have fixed my issue but still confused.
EDIT I disabled IP6 and things are working better with fewer hangups!
