   No, they call it dynamic, because they do not guarantee that the /56 prefix   
   will never change. Since November 2017 it has only changed once. That was   
   after a three hour unscheduled power down. Short power interuptions do not   
   seem to cause a change.   
      
   Even so, all THEY set is the prefix. Within the /64, I can either use SLAAC or   
   configure it manually. The latter I did for the ::f1d0:2:280:5555 part.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
