That's not really true anymore. I've used a connection with both IPv4 and 6 for the past two years. There's a number of times where my stuff magically works, whiles others have issues, because my traffic is mostly over IPv6. Not once have I had an issue because my setup is dual stacked.

This is still true for ISPs that don't monitor their IPv6 connectivity. I was forced to disable IPv6 recently because of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/1nf3ytq/how_do_i_comp...

And before you say "change the ISP": Globe is the only one that does not refuse to provide services to foreigners and does not lock you up into a 24-month non-cancellable contract, which is longer than any available non-resident visa.

That's not really an IPv6 issue, but an ISP issue. My old ISP didn't monitor anything and relies on customers to call them up and explain that their connection is down. Sometimes tell them that their connection to entire towns are down, because they don't know.

I'm fairly fortunate that my ISP not only offers IPv6, but also knows how to run their network. Denmark has plenty of ISP that doesn't provide IPv6, don't know how to run a network or some many cases both.
