Well, if you have an alernative providers that will give you /48s (or
maybe /56s - I don't really like them, because now there's two
allocation sizes instead of the single /48 size, but they're still far
better than being given a single /64), give them your business instead.
The single /64 operator is being excessively and unnecessarily
conservative with IPv6 address space. You shouldn't have to work around
their unnecessary IPv6 address space constraints, and neither should
equipment vendors or the IETF.
