Putting in 128 enables them to waste the address space the same way IPv4 was treated decades ago. "Oh, you want to hook up a classroom? Here's a /16 <-> /64". If address space is so plentiful the default home isp allocation is /64, there's something wrong here. I can somewhat easily remember a bunch of IPv4 addresses. I'll probably never memorize an IPv6 one, unless it's one of the 0xface cafe babe 0000 ones. Which waste address space even more, see above.

> the default home isp allocation is /64 If it is, then your ISP is incompetent. You should get a /48 by default, at the very least a /56. > there's something wrong here. Why? > I'll probably never memorize an IPv6 one, unless it's one of the 0xface cafe babe 0000 ones. Which waste address space even more, see above. Why would you want to? Except for a few special ones (routers and DNS servers, mostly), which you probably should configure to use easy to remember addresses, what's the point of remembering addresses when there is DNS?
