It's also more than likely a hold over of IPv4 think where, generally,
only companies are allocated address blocks. I would be ringing
the ISP and talking to the staff escalating until you get to someone
who understands the issue. Also a /64 is ridiculously small for a
company and it really too small for individuals so it very much
looks like this ISP hasn't applied enough thought to this area.
Trail blazing is hard work but someone has to do it.
