Airtel Xstream Broadband has switched to CG Nat

Has anyone succesfully requested a greater than /64 prefix from airtel using prefix delegation yet ?
 
@drtech we are not even able to setup ipv6 correctly and you are asking about more than/64 prefix 😑. Any help is appreciated.

I tried to request 60, 56, 48 without success. As I have more than 1 vlan, wanted to provide IPv6 to everything behind the router by subnetting further into /64 pools.
All I could get is /64 from BNG.
 
@igloo Same here. I think we are doing something wrong. Do you have OpenWRT router? Can you try on that?
 


Please try some reddit forums for Netgear / TP-Link. For me it is working without any issues.
My neighbour who got Airtel BB 10 days ago got a ZTE ONT and for him also its working without any issues

Edit - It didn't work for me initially on the Juniper SRX320, had to spent few hours but finally got it working after few configurations changes..
It worked on Ubiquiti Edgerouter in single attempt
 
Here is the screenshot which I took a few days ago from the phone which had native IPv6

can you share the screenshot of edgerouter ipv6 setting page?
 
Does the router have a diagnostic page?
Can you try using that to ping/trace an ipv6 domain or IP.
This way we can confirm if it's a config issue on router or the device (though if you tested on multiple devices already then it most likely is a router config issue)
 
@igloo I don't have screenshot as I have not captured any while I was testing it.
IMO, please try configuration through CLI rather than UI as UI might not have all the options. Following is my CLI capture which I saved on my Laptop few days ago
