Bridged ethernet across the broadband provider network to the ISP router. 
Each customer gets a single /64 vlan to their residence.  If the customer 
now wants more than one subnet, the ISP must now route additional prefixes 
to a customer's gateway.  The customer can't just setup a router to break 
up the single /64 without the ISP carrying a route entry or the customer 
doing some kind of IPv6 NAT or proxy ND.  If the ISP wont route additional 
prefixes, then the customer is forced to do the latter.
