CenturyLink's "modem" (aka router) was doing the 6rd upstream and it
would have worked transparently on the LAN side of that, at least
since I started using them in Spring 2015. My 6rd tunnel delegates a
/56 block to allocate how I like on my LANs. That's 256 /64 networks,
which, you know, ought to hold me for now.

Comcast has had native IPv6 for "a while". Comcast gets credit for
being pretty IPv6-forward among ISPs (although completely retrograde
when it comes to upstream bandwidth). I don't recall the size of their
delegations. I seem to be requesting /60, but I don't know if that's
their limit or just what I ask for.

Ziply (repeating myself) still doesn't have any IPv6 provisioning for
normal residential customers. A reddit thread suggests their 10Gbps
tier provides some kind of IPv6 provisioning.

And then there are Hurricane Electric (tunnelbroker.net) IPv6 tunnels,
although (at least in the old days) the tunnels were bandwidth
limited.  I recall HE was delegating /48's, so 65,536 /64 networks.
