> If your ISP assigns you dynamic prefixes (mine does) Well there goes your problem…

  Yes it's not what is currently (19 years after IPv6 RFC) considered best practices[1], but that's what my ISP hands me, so that's what I got to work with. [1]: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690 https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690

    Either they really don't understand IPv6 or they are creating a false scarecity to charge you more money for what is essentially a free and virtually infinite resource to them, probably both.

      Or they're running 6rd and giving him a dynamic ipv4?

        Not sure what they're running. They do hand me a dynamic IPv4 address, but unless the modem is offline for more than an hour or so, I get the same address. For whatever reason I get a new IPv6 prefix every time the modem or router reboots.
