At the risk of sounding like I'm piling on, I'm in the same basically 
the same boat that Seth is, except that I do know who my account rep is 
and have been in touch with him.

Verizon's policy has been related to me that they will not accept or 
propogate any IPv6 route advertisements with prefix lengths longer than 
/32.  Full stop.  So that even includes those of us that have /48 PI 
space from ARIN that are direct customers of Verizon.

Looks like Verizon doesn't want any IPv6 customers.  If a company
has idiotic policies like this vote with your wallet.
 

I am, sort of; I'm a new customer so they installed, but I haven't
accepted it yet. Unfortunately I won't be able to get back to dealing
with it until late next week at the earliest as I'm in the middle of
moving to a new facility.
