My specific point from TFA was that they had 100 anycasted IPs all over the world,
the distance to their dns server shouldn't matter. remarkably *all* of my tcpdump traffic for the last 60 seconds was ipv6, the only ipv4s I can see were 104.244.42.193 104.244.42.2
which are twitters. (really shocking they have no ipv6)
really awful ping times over verizon 5g
