Good luck… I guess, despite being against best practices, a /64 is better than nothing… especially considering “most” home users really only need a /64. The BNG we are on (backhauled from 200 miles away in a completely different metro area, breaking geolocation, adding significant latency just to get to someone in the same town, etc.) doesn’t even have an IPv6 address period, let alone DHCPv6-PD. I’ve even tried filing an FCC complaint to get the eyes of someone clueful, and that eventually went to Null0. Maybe things will get better now with VZ at the helm. Still better than any other option I can get here. > On Aug 6, 2026, at 7:43 AM, Chris Riling via NANOG <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Anyone here have a knowledgeable contact at Frontier?
