   Hi Tony!

   Sure ... I agree.   
      
   My reply was more from the ISP point of view.   
   With 1 v6 subnet it is easy, you just announce the subnet.   
      
   If you allow more, you need a way to configure them. (eg. VLANs, different   
   subnet on different LAN port, etc.)   
      
   That is added complexity for a low cost product, where most of your   
   residential customers will have no clue what this is all about.   
      
   So it makes more sense to offer that on higher tier (and more expensive)   
   services.
