I made a post several weeks ago, if IPv6 is enabled Google services do not work on iPhone's, Mac OS, iPads, etc. This affected google.com /Maps/ YouTube and the apps. But only with Apple devices.

The "fix" was to enable "auto" under HTTP proxy on Apple devices and it would fix it. But that is a non default setting.
Occured with both my UDM Pro & ISP provided Router.

Well... ISP reached out to me through reddit, and setup a visit to see it in person (They were slightly aware of the issue which affected a ton of their fiber customers).

Four ISP techs showed up, and two engineers that flew in from 2,000 miles away from corporate! They where at my house for right at 5 hours! Basically doing a lot of packet capture with an external device between the ONU WAN and the ISP router, along with going back and forth with someone over a call changing settings on the backend, they couldn't resolve it but captured a ton of data.

They said it seems to be related to QUIC. They said they would be sending it back to corp and also to Apple.

A week later I get a message asking me to turn IPv6 back on again to test.. And its now working normally!

I requested if they could tell me exactly what they found or changed, and will update here when I find out.

Now that is what I call ISP Support!

How is that even possible? My music is still there, but the channel has shorts on it, comments now enabled and the channel name has been changed.

This is what the bot chat said:
"YouTube topic channels are auto-generated by YouTube and can't be accessed, edited, or managed by artists—including us at DistroKid. So, if you think your topic channel is "hacked," there's actually nothing to worry about, since no one (not even you) can log into or control it. Your music is still safe and available!
