So a customer with a single PC hooked up to their broad-band connection would be given 2^64 addresses?
No, that's a single subnet, typically they should be assigned more than that.
I realize that this is future proofing, but OMG! That’s the IPv4 Internet^2 for a single device!
Am I still seeing/reading/understanding this correctly?

From what I can tell from an ISP perspective, the design of IPv6 is for assignment of a /64 to an end user. Is this correct? Is this how it is currently being done? If not, where am I going wrong?
The most common thing I see is /64 if the end user only needs one subnet, /56 if they need more than one.
