Comcast gives you a /60 block that you can assign multiple /64's out of.

My computer rotates out IPv6 addresses every 30 minutes using SLAAC with privacy addresses.

While you can identify the /64, there is no guarantee that it is a single user, just like in IPv4 because of NAT there is no guarantee it is a single user. It'll identity a household, but that's it.

> just like in IPv4

is the key concept I am talking about here and everyone keep saying it is not.

Just like ipv4 is what matter and why ISP will never kill NAT. They profit from it, somehow. and it is not just saving money on ipv4 address space.
