Of course, you shouldn't need a dynamic DNS with IPv6, as your prefix should be static and you point the DNS to the MAC based addresses.
Is the prefix really meant to be static or is it like IPv4, best efforts? Anyway, they wanted the dyndns for their ipv4 address.
I read that some ISP give dynamic IPv6 addresses. In other words, some ISP give dynamic IPs in order to sell at a higher price the fixed addresses.
I think every customer line will have a dynamic IPv6 network. It might be virtually fixed over months and years, but still dynamic per definition. An ISP charging for a fixed IPv6 subnet is a silly idea, but people are stupid, so maybe they can sell it.
Oh, Telefonica of Spain is very "clever". At the beginning, they handed out fixed IPv4s. At one moment, they switched to dynamic, and managed to sell that as an improvement. A bit later, they charged for fixed. Yes, they are very "clever". And I read somewhere that the intention is to sell fixed IPv6s. For the moment, they are doing nothing. They did a test somewhere, and the routers they use are IPv6 capable. I have seen no news of the test. And no, I guess the addresses will not be virtually fixed, because resetting the routers is enough to make them change the IPv4 address. My guess is they will do the same thing with IPv6. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
