Unless I've misunderstood Matthew, and he was suggesting that the /64 be the link network. That would indeed effectively give the customer a single address, unless it was being bridged rather than routed at the CPE. Not sure bridging it is such a good idea - most people will probably want their home networks to keep working even if the ISP has an outage.
Sorry for the week's delay - I meant delegating a /64 using DHCPv6 PD, I had assumed the link net would be based on provider preference - /64 would obviously make the most sense for the vast majority of scenarios. In my experience, I would have though well over 99% of residential users just require one subnet, if they require additional subnets they'll ask for them, and if it's standardised, a /56 could easily be quickly assigned and added to either the DHCPv6 PD or static routed if required. That would usually be a service the customer would pay extra for. I'm purely looking at residential use here, not SOHO nor SME. M M
