At the risk of sounding like I'm piling on, I'm in the same basically
the same boat that Seth is, except that I do know who my account rep is
and have been in touch with him.
Verizon's policy has been related to me that they will not accept or
propogate any IPv6 route advertisements with prefix lengths longer than
/32. Full stop. So that even includes those of us that have /48 PI
space from ARIN that are direct customers of Verizon.
I've been told that Verizon is discussing this policy and whether it
should be updated, but until they update their policy to be in line with
the IPv6 Internet allocation/assignment policies from at least September
of 2006 (when ARIN assigned their first /48 from 2620:0::/23), if your
announcements are only longer than /32, you should be aware that Verizon
is completely unreachable for you - even if you are a Verizon customer
directly.
