FTTP pfSense IPv6 Configuration

I've looked through various threads, searched Google and I seem to get differing answers.

 

I have connected to the ONT and configured pfSense. IPv4 seems absolutely fine, IPv6 is where I 'think' I may be having issues.

 

All of the IPv6 test sites all state that my connection fully supports IPv6 natively, however I'd like clarification as to whether Sky actually offer a 'routeable' IPv6 address to the pfSense box?

 

I've seen other webpages mention that Sky only offer link-local and not a 'global' address for the WAN interface.

 

Could anybody explain/help? Thank you!

@ikaney not done what you are trying to do but my Sky hub reports an IP6 Global Address, IPLink local address and a IP6 Delegated prefix you can check yourself on your own hub.. My understanding is Sky are fully IP6 compliant and much of the information on line is out of date.. 

One of the recommended ways of getting a router to connect to a Sky FTTP line is to set it to use IP6 PD which works on most but all lines where it doesn't then use IP4 Option 61 with a string in the form anything@skydsl|anything
