If they're handing out /56, that's 256 /64s. Also, if they're doing that, then they must expect the customer to be able to do that, which means using something other than the gateway they provide. I wonder if it might be "reserved for future use" (or words to that effect). Here, we had our energy meters (electricity, gas, water) wired up to the fibre last year, but they use a separate fibre. If Carlos has just the one, it might be sensible to add some networks "in reserve".
I don't know about his ISP, but with mine, I get whatever size I request, from a single /64 to 256.
Carlos' ISP does not seem to work well with the "Service" part of being an ISP. Back in 2009 when I asked my ISP for a fixed range, they asked "what would you like?" which kindof threw me. I think I ended up with a /48. The fun bit was when I asked them to delegate the reverse lookup.
The IPv6 address space is so huge, there's no point in being stingy. In fact, some ISPs had out a /48,
