This makes me sad. I don't doubt that there are scenarios in which having IPv6 connectivity makes things worse, but these days, the opposite is more common, so I don't think "disable IPv6 just in case" is a good blanket recommendation to make anymore.
"If disabling IPv6 fixes your issue consistently, consider disabling it" would achieve the same outcome, without potentially causing problems/inefficiencies down the road.
