Any way to get a /56 or more? Support is clueless.
Probably not unless you move to business service. Although it does not hurt (well, your wasted time) to try to convince them to change. For residential, it seems most ISPs believe RFC6177 is more of an idea than a firm suggestion[0], and if you want a /56, you need to upgrade to being what they consider a business site, and, of course, pay more. Comcast does offer a /60 for their residential customers, but if you want a /56 (or more), it is business class service, and Charter (branded as Spectrum) only seems to offer residential customers a /64 (I have not tried, but I presume Charter will offer more for business class). There is almost certainly no underlying technical reason that Frontier could not offer DHCPv6-PD delegations (of some size) to consumer class service should they have decided to do so. [0] There have been previous comments (rants?) on the subject towards ISP's consumer IPv6 service before (including, of course, towards the ISPs that are still not offering any IPv6 connectivity).
