Fair point.... just as a follow up question... is giving a /64 to a Residential Customer not a good idea, because it would not allow them to have additional routed segments ? (since Best Practices is to use a /64 on each link as link connectivity address) or is there some other reasoning that I am failing to see/ understand ?

You should probably increase those allocations.
Residential & Small Business Customers: /56
Medium & Large size Business Customers: /48
Multi-location Business Customer: /48 per site

We are going thru a similar process.. from all of my reading, best practice discussions etc..
Here is what i have understood so far:-
Residential Customers: /64
Small & Medium size Business Customers: /56
Large Business size or a multi-location Business Customer: /48
Don't skimp on allocating the subnets like we do on IPv4 Better to be 'wasteful' than have to come back to re-number or re-allocate .
