How stable is the IPv6 address block you get from Rogers?  I know in
the past their IPv4 addresses rarely changed.

I figure I ought to start figuring out what's involved with Rogers setup
these days given that's what I will end up with next September when I
move to a new house.  I am pretty sure a new development won't have any
copper phone or cable connections, just fiber, and rogers service is
included in the price of the house for the first year, so I figure I
might as well use it.

And I suppose I will have to figure out how one runs a router and APs
on top of whatever device rogers uses to connect to their network.
