Comcast should give you up to a /60 if you ask for it, no matter where you are:

Indeed, I can get a /60 here in the Bay Area.

So, it looks like I can ask for a /60, and I get offered a /60 and a /64. (I can ask for a /61, and I get offered a /61 and a /64.) Unfortunately, the /64 is offered with a higher priority, so the router uses that.

A thread on dslreports.com indicates that this might be because I had a recently released lease on the /64, so I'm gonna release the lease for three or four days to see if that will fix the issue.

I released the lease for two, three days and I now have a /60. Yay!

I'll try to play around with my network this weekend. It might be mis-configured, or I might just be stupid.

Thanks much for the information!
