Then require that the homenet router be able to be turned to bridge mode and be done with it. All the ISP's the I am aware of that current only supply /64's have stated that they intend to offer larger prefixes. Most that are doing it are because of broken CPE equipment not because they think it is a good thing to do. There is no real reasons for ISP's to only do /64s except spite the customer. The difference in costs from the RIRs for the bigger address space is chump change even for developing states. All their equipment will support > /64 because the big players want to support that.
