 VS> 2. A /64 on the internal interface of ISP-owned CPE

If appears that 2 is the closest.

Xfinity / Comcast of Dover, Delaware (USA)

I've got a dynamic IPv6 Address on my router WAN side reporting (via a FUGLY web interface):
    WAN IP Address (IPv6): 2001:558:6027:19:c4e3:1bee:faf8:939d
    WAN Default Gateway Address (IPv6): fe80::201:5cff:fe80:6846
    Delegated prefix (IPv6): 2601:48:c500:9340::/64

Additionally,  I can ping my router's public IPv6 address from the LAN side, don't know about the WAN side.  I also can make IPv6 connections to sites on the Internet, infact, macOS 11+ default to IPv6 first; and my Linux system has been updated to do the same.

Cheers,
Scott
