Well, if you need to disable it, its pretty straightforward.
The question is - why would you need to do so.

You're paying your ISP to take care of the hard part of this equation
(billing, routing, peer isolation to name a few).
If T-Mobile is providing you with IPv6, everything should Just Work™ for
you.
If it does not - there's big fat chance of a local configuration problem.

Short of 'check whatever they give you instead of a proper router just
to be sure that you don't have IPv6'?

Let's see.

'tcpdump 101'
'ipv6 routing basics'
'icmp type 134'
'dhcpv6 howto'
'debian disable ipv6'
'disable ipv6 regedit' (Windows only)
