Re: Frontier IPv6 Prefix Delegation - AS5650

[Tim Burke via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

Good luck…  

I guess, despite being against best practices, a /64 is better than nothing… especially considering “most” home users 
really only need a /64. The BNG we are on (backhauled from 200 miles away in a completely different metro area, 
breaking geolocation, adding significant latency just to get to someone in the same town, etc.) doesn’t even have an 
IPv6 address period, let alone DHCPv6-PD. I’ve even tried filing an FCC complaint to get the eyes of someone clueful, 
and that eventually went to Null0. 

Maybe things will get better now with VZ at the helm. Still better than any other option I can get here.
