I have to say they both look a bit spotty from Honolulu right now, e.g.

C:\windows\system32>ping -6 www.google.com

Pinging www.google.com [2a00:1450:4009:80b::1013] with 32 bytes of data:
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 2a00:1450:4009:80b::1013:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 1, Lost = 3 (75% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 376ms, Maximum = 376ms, Average = 376ms

but that may be some other issue entirely.
