If you don't have a static IP allocation from comcast, then you won't 
have any expectation of a stable IP address allocation, be it v4 or v6.

But in all seriousness, who cares if your home network v6 prefix (and 
addresses) change?  Use v4 for your internal name resolution.  What's 
running your internal network?  dnsmasq or dhcpd+named?

(I've been using a Hurricane Electric tunnel with my Comcast Business 
 setup, although I intend to shut that down soonish now that Comcast has 
 finally started assinging static IPv6 prefixes to folks with static v4 
 allocations)
