Yeah I RAWRed to them pretty hard whilst being as understanding to the CS
rep that it wasn't their fault.

They thought I was weird as anything.

If there are any Verizon FiOS network engineers on the thread, a fellow
Verizon employee would thank you kindly for an off-thread email regarding
BGP advertisement (I'll buy the IPv6 block and the drink-of-choice, you
configure my account to listen for route advertisement).

Strange that it has to come to this to get "legit" IPv6 service.
