Yeah, I am getting a DHCPv6-PD, it's just a single /64, which is better than nothing, but not great. I told support I'd be willing to pay, and it sounds like it's something they don't, and aren't planning to offer.
What router are you using? Are you setting a PD hint to ask for a /56? When I had Comcast, the default was a /64, but if you sent a /60 hint that's what you'd get. IIRC it took a little help to change, because their DHCPv6-PD would send you the same prefix, ignoring the hint, if your DUID was in the DB (although maybe a proper release/request worked?). I've always set a hint since, and get a /56 from GFiber. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
