just disable ipv6 at the host level if you're not using it.  ...

When you get your line problems sorted out, have a look at configuring your ADSL router to enable IPv6.
All the routers Internode sell support IPv6.

As an Internode subscriber, you are better placed than most to actually *use* IPv6.
In particular, Google and YouTube are popular sources of IPv6 traffic, and 
much more will be available after 6th June -- http://www.worldipv6launch.org/

The big win with IPv6 is billions of times more IP addresses.
Internode subscribers get given 256 subnets of 2^64 IPv6 addresses.
You don't need to play port forwarding games if you want to e.g. have more than one Web or ssh server at home.
