I'm not sure what Teksavvy does, but an ISP is supposed to provide at least a
/64 prefix,which provides 18.4 billion, billion addresses. I get a /56 from
Rogers, which is 256 times the size of a /64.
Since it's available, why not give it a try? That's the direction the world's
moving, so no point in hanging back.

Yes, it does, and I think that I do have an IPv6 address somewhere. But
I've got a static IPv4 address from Teksavvy, and that's about the limit
of what I understand/need.
(bit of a change from 1992, when as a founding member of the UK's first
ISP [Demon] I was assigned a block of addresses larger than most
countries could hope to have.)
The router's working nicely now, and is just a shade faster than the old
one. Shame it's so big - would make a nice cat warmer.
