I don't know where you are, but I'm a Comcast customer in San Francisco. I have a /64 assigned to me through Prefix Delegation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_delegation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_delegation ). My router talks to Comcast's router over a link-local address. I know, a /64 isn't a /56 or even a /48 like they should be handing out, but it's a far cry from a /128. Where are you seeing /128s being handed out? Are you sure that your router isn't misconfigured in some way? If you're basing your information on the info here: http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/ipv6-deployment-faq http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/ipv6-deployment-faq do know that it's out of date. The bug mentioned in Toastman and Shibby builds has been fixed for quite a while. (Indeed, I'm running unmodified Shibby on my router [with some firewall rules to patch over some crappy daemon interface binding decisions that the guy made.].) EDIT: agawa reports that Comcast is handing out /60s. I'll play around a bit with my network this weekend and see what I've misconfigured/misunderstood.

Comcast should give you up to a /60 if you ask for it, no matter where you are: https://secure.dslreports.com/forum/r28725662-IPv6-ALL-areas-support-60-now https://secure.dslreports.com/forum/r28725662-IPv6-ALL-areas... Indeed, I can get a /60 here in the Bay Area.

  So, it looks like I can ask for a /60, and I get offered a /60 and a /64. (I can ask for a /61, and I get offered a /61 and a /64.) Unfortunately, the /64 is offered with a higher priority, so the router uses that. A thread on dslreports.com indicates that this might be because I had a recently released lease on the /64, so I'm gonna release the lease for three or four days to see if that will fix the issue.

    I released the lease for two, three days and I now have a /60. Yay!

I'm getting a /64 on my airport express. I do subscribe to blast plus, however I have never contacted comcast about ipv6

indeed, i assumed they were handing out a /128 because their ipv6 faq said they were handing out a /128.

  I really wish that they would update that FAQ. :/
