It should probably be pointed out:
Asking for practical advice on choosing /48 vs. /56 on a residential
broadband CPE is largely unanswerable.
Why?
Because I don't know of any residential broadband CPEs that support IPv6.
I want to be wrong about that. Seriously. Send me a link to one. I want
to be wrong. (And by residential, I mean a CPE/router/firewall that costs
less than $150US.)
IMO, the only answers so far:
businesses get /48
dialup gets /64
(by default anyway; there are always exceptions)
