I got a /48, and I think it will take me a while to put all those addresses in use. I'm using 9-10 now, so while I've certainly started down the path, the end is not in sight just yet.

You need a /48 (or /56) if you want to do your own subnetting and keep using SLAAC (which is the default way for assigning v6 addresses and detecting address conflicts).
A /64 is not enough for that. You can still create your own subnets, but you will be on your own with address assignment

Name and shame the ISP that won't let you do a prefix delegation request to get a larger prefix assigned...
BellAliant in eastern Canada, the only provider of residential layer 1 fiber in my area, still isn't even assigning a /128 or /64, let alone proper delegation.

That's an ISP that apparently still doesn't offer IPv6 at all... not an ISP that has a misconfigured IPv6 network.
