One of the hopeful outcomes of IPv6 adoption was that an ISP could get
enough to last "forever" in a single transaction. But "forever" isn't
very long at one /48 (or more) per customer.

How long does it take to blow through a /20 at /48 a customer?

A while. But the more likely case is that the guy before you asked for and got a /32, because that's the minimum (and 
already two steps up the fee scale, I might add)

You want ISPs to start with /20s? I'll support that over on PPML if you propose it. But I'll also ask for /20 to have a 
fee category of "small".
