It'll never catch on. :-)

I suspect the difference between how well your network/ISP is copying
with TCP and UDP; HTTP connections and DNS queries. curl(1) and w3m(1)
might achieve the same end result differently.
You can try
strace -fe %network w3m -6 -dump ipv6.google.com
and see how far it gets. With older strace(1), drop the `%'.
Compare with other commands that work or don't work.
As for Giancarlo's suggestion of MTU, tracepath(8) is handy for checking
that. It has undocumented `-4' and `-6' options.
