If you give your customers a single /128, you're forcing *them* to use
NAT.  This is bad.

The strong recommendation is to give your customers something between
a /48 and a /64.  NO LESS, unless you know for sure(!) that they only
have a single machine, and no network behind it.

IPv6 is not IPv4, and we have enough addresses.  Let's make good use out
of it.  (And the math has been done: giving a /56 to every single end 
customers out in the world will use up well below 0.0001% of the global 
address space)
