While a single network gets at /64, isn't the practice suppose to be providers allocating a /56 or a /60 for home users (you know so your IOT, wired lan, wifi, guest network, gaming systems, bathroom, bedroom, etc. can all be on their own networks)?
Yes, that's what it's _supposed_ to be. Anything from a /48 to a /60 is reasonable given the way IPv6 is intended to be used. My personal preference is /56 by default, /48 by request. Providers assigning a single /64 or a /128 to an always-on customer are doing it wrong. You know who you are. If this seems inconsistent with my last email, my key point there was not that we're using IPv6 in a crazy way (although to some extent we are) but rather that the IPv6 address space is by tens of orders of magnitude much smaller than you think.
