In short, enter:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
Look for a line which contains alias net-pf-10 ipv6. Change it to alias net-pf-10 off.
Save changes. Restart Ubuntu.

It didn’t work for me dude.
It is very slow when first trying to download a page, but it is faster while navigating to sub-folders within that site.
But, thanks though.
I don’t think it is just that, might be a deeper issue.
