I don't play 6-handed tables, so I can't address THAT comparison directly, but as a general rule the hands I see online are no different that what I see live.  This is based on having played live since '69.
 
What I do notice is that more hands go to showdown than they do live. That increases the likelihood of more sukouts and strange races.
 
Your profile says you prefer Stars for online play, so I have to guess you encountered these quads on Stars. I wouldn't expect this very often. I'm no math wizard, but there 'could' be the possibility that a 6-handed table might see a slightly different card distribution than a 9 or 10 seater, partly due to the number of cards dealt in the hole cards. 12 vs 18 vs 20.
 
As to programming, if you read Stars security pages, they claim to set the entire deck before the first card is dealt, regardless of the game or seating. That shuffle and set of the deck is from the full 52 cards. According to Stars, nothing anyone does will change the order of the deal. Unlike sites that pull cards 'on demand', no amount of click delay, thermal noise, number of mouse clicks nor the number of times you throw you mouse across the room will change your next card.
 
Next time, post the HH's and we'll take a look. If it's happening, it's ALL in the HH.
