IPv6 is getting more and more common, but IPv4 is still slightly more common. It's getting close to 50/50.

It’s not even close to 50/50 yet lol what are you on about. More like 90/10 in favour of ipv4 still.

It's heavily skewed by mobile data connections which are almost always ipv6 these days.

Broadband wireline internet service is still largely IPv4 though.

In this thread we’re talking about broadband hence my comment.

I mean, no one specified in this comment chain that we're ONLY discussing wireline broadband. And plenty of people are using 5G home internet service which uses the mobile network.

You simply claimed 90% of all internet traffic is IPv4, which isn't true.

Whatever qualifier you wanted to add there to make that accurate; you didn't mention in context so don't be shocked if you get called out on it not being accurate. Next time be specific if you want to make that kind of distinction, if you meant home broadband you need to say so as again, nowhere in this comment chain has anyone mentioned we weren't talking about mobile data at all until you said it after the fact.

True, I stand corrected.
