Hello Victor,

Too early to tell. They (Ziggo) were very slow to roll out IPv6. After telling the customers that they would be rolling out IPv6 "later this year" for the last decade, they finally started moving in 2016. But it is still "unofficial", they have not yet published an official policy on IPv6. It is still a surprise if after a modem change, you will have Dual Stack, DSLite or IPv4 only. Customers that have IPv6 report they have a /56. But nothing "official" from the ISP...

 MV>> and a /48 on a bussines pro connection.

THAT is what they offically advertise for the Bussines Pro connection.

So? Just use whatever you need from the /48 and ignore the rest. There is no shortage of IPv6 addresses,,,

Be patient. I have been pestering Ziggo for a decade before they stopped dragging their feet on IPv6. ;-)
