No. It's not AT&T's 6rd deployment. I can't get a 30Mbps service from AT&T.
It's actually listed as a trial, so it's not known to me how long it will be 
this way, and I don't think it's appropriate to flame or complain about an 
MSO's trial IPv6 6rd service, much as I might enjoy that. They say that they 
are headed to dual stack. But my personal philosophy is not to believe in 
promises of what will be (especially promises that have no date or timeline 
provided), and to accept the high likelihood that the current state of affairs 
will continue to exist for the next several years.
But since the following info is available publicly on the Internet, I'll point 
you to the following link:
http://www.myaccount.charter.com/customers/Support.aspx?SupportArticleID=2665
Specific 6rd trial info is on this page under the heading "Preparing for IPv6".

This is clearly labeled as a trial, and I would rather have them commended for 
offering this, than lambasted for the fact that it doesn't meet expectations of 
individuals in the IETF. I see no need to talk to them about it. I have no 
complaint with it.

If she is on the 6rd deployment I think she is, the gateway itself is getting a 
/60 from 6rd. The limitation is not 6rd or the ISP trying to be stingy per se. 
The limitation is that the gateway currently isn't sub-delegating to subtended 
routers, and the LAN ports are bridged and served by the same /64 anyway.

The current policies in ARIN and RIPE are such that there really is no excuse 
for an ISP to limit to /64 with 6rd, even without resorting to multiple 
domains. I don't know of any large 6rd deployments that are limiting themselves 
to /64 within the mapping rule itself today, but I've stopped keeping track now 
as it has become rather widely understood and available.

As a home user who currently gets a /64 (via 6rd) from my ISP, I find this

Who is the ISP? Do you know why they are only handing out /64? Have you tried 
to talk to them?
