Well, being a residential CPE vendor, I can confirm some of our
customers deploy /64 only to the CPE. Not recommended by us, but being
a managed CPE, it's the customer making the final decision on this.
If they only give the end user a /64, then the end customer won't be
able to have a multi-LAN routed home. Hopefully the end customer will
switch ISPs to one that isn't so restrictive.
If they can request more than one /64 from the upstream, then can have
multiple LANs. However, as far as I can tell from the specs it would
have to use different IAIDs for each request as getting multiple
prefixes back in the same IAID means "all these prefixes refer to one
network."
FWIW, Comcast's currently deployed network will give a /64 to an
unqualified PD request. I have been told it will give up to a /60 if
given an explicit request for a narrowed prefix; I have not been able to
test it myself at this point.
