ipv6 prefix delegation length - only /64 for residential?

Hello

I have xfinity residential internet. I have both ipv4 and ipv6 turned on for my network and they both work fine - however, ipv6, I seem to be only getting /64 prefix delegation no matter what I set prefix delegation to. When I read around the Internet, it looks like xfinity does delegate /60 prefix for residential internet customers. Can someone confirm if xfinity residential delegates /60 prefix or does it delegate only /64 prefix?

You used to be able to hint for /60 a few years ago, but they no longer provide them.

Thanks - so only /64 now for residential then? That's disappointing - I suppose I'll have to look at ULAs and some kind of 6to6 mapping then for ipv6 subnets within the home network then.
