My sister has a relatively new domestic BT broadband connection. The IPv4 address was expected to be dynamic despite BT claiming to have sufficient IPv4 addresses, while the IPv6 address so far has had a static /48 but dynamic /64. Is there a cost involved in providing a static address, or are UK customers considered to be incapable of safely using a static address? Perhaps it just allows them to charge extra for a "business" broadband.
I'm not completely sure how you have static /48 but dynamic /64. Can you not assign yourself a fixed /64 from the /48 if that's what you want? If you're going to be publishing the /64 in DNS somewhere then <48-prefix>:0000::/64 would probably make sense. If you're not then some random 16 bits might make more sense.
