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.
