what you are describing is either:
a) a provider that does offer a prefix for your LAN but you are not requesting it.
b) a provider that does not offer any prefix for your LAN.

You should start trying solving a) by starting an instance of a DHCPv6 client and requesting a prefix (DHCPv6-PD). if no answer, then you are probably in b) mode. In this latter case, complain to your ISP.
