Actually Comcast is willing to give out more than a /64 to a home, =
they're waiting for the CPE to catch up.
I've had some very good discussions with John Brzozowski on the subject. =
While we don't see completely
eye-to-eye on the matter, I think that Comcast is trying to do =
reasonably well by their customers in the
IPv6 addressing realm. I expect that they will eventually come around to =
giving out /48s, but, for now they
seem to feel they need to see the use case develop before they deploy =
it.
It's not ideal in my opinion, but, it's much better than it could be.
FWIW, Comcast is transporting the /48 from my home nicely, even if they =
don't know they're doing it.
