DTAG assigns a /56 to the customer. The randomization gives you a new /56 inside the /48. I haven't checked if they actually assign a /48 internally per customer and just give a /56 to the customer, or if they assign all/multiple /56s of the /48 to customers.

Have you heard about their idea of prefix coloring for IPv6?
