Anyone else had FTP problems using Hone Internet?

Here's the heart of the T-Mobile Home Internet FTP problem. T-Mobile Home Internet ISP is IPV6 and my Cox Cable ISP is IPV4. The older PASV FTP command (the default for at least my CuteFTP program) works perfectly on Cox Cable ISP but won't work on T-Mobile Home Internet IPV6. What did work is changing Data connection type in my FTP program from "Use global settings" to "Use EPSV"
"So, what's the difference now between EPSV and PASV? Or Extended Passive Mode and Passive Mode? The main difference is that EPSV and Extended Passive Mode are primarily designed to accommodate both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses, while the older PASV command and Passive Mode could only support IPV4."
