Slow connection with any google service like youtube or drive. I tried pinging it too.

What are the results of "tracert" and "pathping" targeting Google (www.google.com or 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.?

Try turning off IPv6.

If that does not work then run and post the results of "ipconfig /all".

that seemed to work! why would ipv6 do that?

We see this question all the time on this forum. It actually should not matter other than ipv6 being a bit more inefficient since there is more overhead in the packets.

It seems for whatever reason some ISP do not have as good paths through the internet for some IPv6 connections. It seems to be very random which is why some sites work and other do not.

Why the ISP do this is hard to say. IPv6 has been the "future" of the internet for the last 20 years but it still has worse performance for a lot of people.

So far I have not seen a actual need for anyone to actually have IPv6 turned on. Only a tiny number of sites in asia only use IPv6 addresses and there are proxy sites that will get you past that issue.
