Cincinnati Bell Fioptics has recently started the deployment of IPv6 through the network. Luckily, we will be allowed to pull a /56 prefix.
A bit of a warning, but the /56 prefix is not sticky to you. If your network connection becomes disconnected for long enough (as of this writing it is 7 days), you could be assigned a new /56. Also, if you put a new device on with a different MAC, you will get a different /56 prefix.
Another note is DNS. You will not be getting AAAA records for the DNS servers. DNS queries will continue to go to their DNS servers using IPv4 addresses. This is fine. You will still get AAAA IPv6 addresses when available for domain names when available, just the communication to get that AAAA is over IPv4. Since you will be dual stack, having both IPv4 and IPv6, there will be no issues.
