However, you can get a /48 prefix from Hurricane Electric for free, but you'll have to set up a 6in4 tunnel. A prefix is like an IPv4 subnet mask, in that it determines how many bits are yours. So, if you have a /48 prefix, you have 128-48=80 bits to yourself, for 2^80 addresses or 65536 /64s. LANs normally have a /64 prefix. My ISP gives me a /56 for 256 /64s.
Yes, I can set a tunnel, but I don't need IPv6 for myself now ;-)
The last one was a test done at Sevilla (29/06/2016). It mentions they assigned /64 to mobile clients. SLAAC.
I don't read Spanish, but my ISP also provides IPv6 to their cell network. My phone has an IPv6 address and all IPv4 traffic uses 464XLAT to send it over IPv6. With some phone models, even tethered devices get an IPv6 address.
Apparently they only did that during the test. My mobile gets a 10.*.*.* address often. Like this instant. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
