The guide mentions:
This isn't correct. While some ISPs do give you the first 64 bit (a /64 prefix), this isn't recommended and not terribly common either. An ISP should give its users prefixes with less than 64 bit. Typically a residential user will get a /56 and commercial users usually get a /48. With such a prefix the user can then generate multiple /64 networks which can be used on the local network as desired.
