Can anyone else confirm slow web page loads of ipv6.comcast.com

Ive been in contact with an internal Comcast contact, but it would be helpful if others could confirm or deny that web page loads of ipv6.comcast.com are slow (yes, you'll need IPv6 access to test -- and yes, I have native, non-tunneled access). Ive measured load times of 1.5 to 2.5 minutes. Theres two AAAA records, so you many need to use wget to be aware of which one you're hitting. The issue started around 3:10 pm Central. The other 10 IPv6 sites I monitor aren't having issues. ========================================= nagios:# wget ipv6.comcast.com --2011-03-16 16:57:02-- http://ipv6.comcast.com/ Resolving ipv6.comcast.com... 2001:558:1004:9:69:252:76:96, 2001:558:1002:5:68:87:64:59, 69.252.76.96, ...

From HE takes approximately 60-120 seconds for each connection to ipv6.comcast.com to start loading data. Data loads at normal speed thereafter.
However, this affects each element and each redirect. There are about 4 redirects between http://ipv6.comcast.com and actually getting data back and about 20 elements that comprise the page once you get there, so, it takes a LONG time to get to the point of seeing anything on the page.
