Do ISPs really give out /128s? That's, erm, that's monstruous! Mine gives a /60 but their router doesn't have any way to use it, which is a bit shit. Still, 10 gigs symmetric...

Rogers in Canada gives out a /64 by default, and a /56 if you send a hint.

Bell, on the other hand, gives a big fat /nothing and doesn't support IPv6. I don't understand how they can roll out 1.5Gbit FTTH but refuse to support IPv6. Their mobile network uses it, of course, so it's truly perplexing.

Meanwhile Teksavvy, who piggybacks over Bell's copper and is also using PPPoE for DSL 'logins', has been giving out IPv6 for a couple of years now.

Spectrum here in Austin TX assigns me a /128

If you request a prefix delegation using DHCPv6 you will get up to a /56 which you can subnet.

8 bits of subnetting means you can create up to 256 different subnets.

Your router may be doing something wrong because DHCPv6-PD worked fine for me on Spectrum Austin.

My two data points:

- Spectrum gave me /64.

- Comcast gives me /128.

[ArchOversight]

Spectrum and Comcast both will happily hand out prefix delegations that are larger than the /64.

Comcast for example right now is giving me a /128 for my router, and a /60 which I have used to set up multiple VLAN's.

Spectrum will give you a /56 in a prefix delegation, and a /128 for the router.

Comcast uses /64 for the WAN network and will give you up to a /60 routed prefix for LAN-side networks.

Which means the /64 is not usable if you want to do subnetting and use SLAAC and the /128 is not useable at all if you have more than one machine.

No such issues with v4.

That was my point about subnetting.
