I may sound noob here, but I am just curious about the IPv6 routing of Airtel and Jio. Is it same as IPv4? Airtel's IPv4 routing has been quite a mess of late.

Actually I have a load balancing setup with both Airtel and Jio. IPv4 route is determined automatically by the router depending upon each client's bandwidth need. But I have chosen to fix default IPv6 route as Airtel's IPv6. This helps me to get more peers and more bandwidth (Jio IPv4 + Airtel IPv4 + Airtel IPv6) in P2P applications. As Jio is quite restrictive in P2P sharing, I have not bothered yet to test with Jio's IPv6. How is though?​
 
Airtel's IPv6 routing is quite similar to that of v4. Sometimes it routes through different country, not SGP though. Pings are also similar but v6 has little lower ping than v4, mostly because v6 is less congested. I also have similar setup Airtel+Excitel, not in load balancing manner but in failover to Airtel incase Excitel goes down.
 
From what I have used and seen for myself in my state (Odisha), IPv6 on Jio is way better than their IPv4 routing, CloudFlare goes to the nearest POP rather than Mumbai and everything else just has lower overall latency.
