Is your router acquiring the /48 via DHCPv6 or is that aspect statically configured as
well?

I vaguely recall that sometime in the past, if the /48 wasn't requested by the client that
ABB did not advertise that specific /48 internally to their network. The symptom was that
you could traceroute6 externally to ABB's border then it would stop.

Are you certain it's still that same /48 as it has been in the past? They can change under
some circumstances, e.g., when they had their 1000/400 offer late last year, switching to
that speed tier involved a different /48 - as did switching back.

Many ABB customers are using ipv6 globally as is discussed frequently on
whirlpool. Something is up with your service or your setup.
