    Why do ISPs rotate IPv6 prefixes? Aren’t they basically infinite?

    The main reason I want IPv6 is so I don’t have to use fancy DNS for dynamic addresses.

      Because they don’t want you to host things at your house, even though that’s perfectly fine from a technical standpoint. They might want to sell you a “business” line for this, or they just don’t want the traffic (since at least in my area, traffic is always included in any home Internet connection).
