Yeah, I am getting a DHCPv6-PD, it's just a single /64, which is better than nothing, but not great. I told support I'd be willing to pay, and it sounds like it's something they don't, and aren't planning to offer. I might even go to their business "home office pro" offering if I knew for sure it would get me a /56 and an SLA and real human on the line when I have an issue. - https://business.frontier.com/home-office-pro - but I haven't tried poking that bear yet, not even sure anyone would be able to answer the question.
