You'll never get a /96!
The smallest you are likely ever have is a /48. (in particular, you get a /48
for each IPv4 address that you own, see the 6to4 stuff).
If you can fill it... well... I'm not sure I really want ever atom in my
house to be SNMP managemeable :-)
it remains to be seen what ISPs that do dialup will do. Many are pushing
for them to give out /64s at a minimum.
