If you require v6 to be static, the ipv6 equivalent to a static IP is a static /64 subnet, aka, an entire LAN. Since it's globally routable, it needs to be issued by an RIR, the same way an IPv4 address would be.
So yes, they would issue it.
If they don't have facilities for ipv6, there are options, such as getting an ipv6 over IPv4 tunnel going with someone like he.net. such tunnels add complexity and more work to the set up and rely on you having a very flexible router, but can be a good alternative.
Ah yeah, these guys are really strict about shit, there's literally only one provider that lets residential customers use a fixed ip. the rest require a corporate account. I don't think they're gonna even know what ipv6 is lol
They're all seemingly very strict about using their gear. They all are, they always are. They're lying when they say that things aren't compatible or something.
The biggest lie is that you can't. You can, and most of the time, unless it's creating a problem, they couldn't give a shit less if their equipment is working correctly; as long as you pay your bill, and don't complain, they don't give a shit. They have your money, whether things work correctly isn't their primary concern.
