I still haven't seen any good argument for why residential users need /48s. No, I don't think "that makes all the address assignments the same size" is a particularly relevant or convincing argument.
We're doing /56 for residential users, and have no plans to change this.

This not only makes pop assignments easier, it gives a much larger prefix rotation pool. Don't start the flame on rotating prefixes being evil. It's my implementation to at least give customers some chance at prefix privacy.
What if your customers don't want prefix privacy and prefer, instead, to have the option of accessing their resources remotely, setting up mobile-IP home gateways, and any of the other functions that come from static prefixes?
Why does it have to be one or the other? Isn't it possible to hand out a static assignment so that users can access their resources remotely as well as handing out a rotating prefix that changes every so often so that users have 'some chance at prefix privacy.' Lee
