Interesting question. I've had it running in my house for a few years
and aside from my MacBook Air acting strange a few times I haven't
noticed a problem with performance or reaching sites.
Here's my setup:
Router: BananaPi R1 running OpenWRT and doing the IPv6 tunneling
ISP: Verizon FIOS 75/75
System: Windows 10 box connected to router via GigE
speedtest.xfinity.com tests both IPv4 and IPv6 speeds.
IPv4: 83.9 Mbps down, 91.5 Mbps up
IPv6: 80.9 Mbps down, 87.9 Mbps up
Not really believing those results, I went to ipv6-test.com/speedtest
which only tests against a server in Anchorage, AK:
IPv4: 57.8 Mbps
IPv6: 70.4 Mbps
Go figure.
