Trying to disable ipv6

My internet connection isn't going over 60kb/s. I searched around a little and others have suggested disabling ipv6.

I've put this line in:
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

ipv6.disable=1

It doesn't seem to be working (when I do some modprobe commands it states 'ignoring bad line ...') and I don't know how to test it.

Any suggestions folks?

Cheers

Set it via your kernel parameters (or sysctl) instead:

Wired? Wireless? Dialup PPP? What chipset is it?

A tip for you (I made this "mistake" the other day): when you recompile your kernel and make ipv6 modular... stupid systemd STILL thinks it knows better and auto loads it before doing anything else. grrr!
However at least I can blacklist it now, it just looks messy.
