Data held by ISPs

It depends on what you mean by "most".  Most fixed line (DSL, Cable, etc) will be fixed, because
ISPs will probably get one or more /40 and therefore will obtain addresses in blocks of 2^24.  Very
few ISPs have more than 16 million fix-line customers, and the few that do will have either multiple
/40s or something larger.

However, the mobile operators will probably use SLAC or DHCPv6 to allocate addresses within a single /64
per [some network organisational block], and most mobile devices use RFC 4941 privacy extensions
(and sometimes can't turn them off: I get really annoyed that all the iDevices at home get fresh
IPv6 addresses every hour).  Given |mobile devices|>|fixed lines|, most IPs will in fact be dynamic.
