This is becoming the exception now, not the rule.
Last year I was fighting with Verizon about their refusal to carry /48s.
That, together with the impasse of figuring out how to put dual stack
IPv6 on an Ethernet port (it was delivered as IPv4 only multiple times),
I never accepted it and went with a competitor who got it right the
first time. However, I've had several sources tell me Verizon has since
backpedaled and now accepts /48s.
