it's not so cut and dried as "more or less static"

For example if you have a statically assigned v4 block (may be just one
address) from your provider, you will probably get a statically assigned
IPv6 block (the minimum size for residentail services seems to be a /64
(18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IPv6 addresses).

if you have IPv4 via DHCP, then you may or may not get a dynamic assignment
of IPv6 the same way.
