Prefix Delegation Disabled
Is anyone else having issues with their delegated IPv6 prefix? Our CGA4332COM correctly shows our assigned /56 address but it is not handing out the /59 prefix to our router-firewall. This seems to have started this week so I suspect this is caused by a recent firmware update. Tier 1 support refused to assign us a ticket and refused to escalate. They were going to send a tech on-site but charge us for the service since their monitors all show green. I could not convince them that this is not a line or hardware issue. Until this is resolved, my servers are unreachable on their IPv6 addresses.
Wireshark shows the following DHCPv6 response (emphasis mine) which makes me think this was through an update. If that is the case, we can't be the only ones having this problem.

An update to my issue, this morning my modem rolled back to CGA4332COM_8.1p8s2_PROD_sey, and ipv6-pd is working. I know a huge company like Comcast is hard to get to the right people, but man I wish these issues could not be shielded and take so long to resolve. Regardless, I'm glad others posted here I know if I went on this alone I would have never made any progress.

Looks like this problem just resurfaced, after that service-wide rollback a few months ago...
Today my modem appears to have once more updated to "CGA4332COM_8.2p8s1_PROD_sey" and now IPv6 is broken again. Seems like it is delegating prefixes, but doesn't want to actually route any traffic coming from those prefixes.
So I guess its once more time to disable IPv6, until Comcast fixes this again.
