in the DSL world, when we were providing service using Bridge PVC's, it
was easier to allocate (as many needed) /32 to a customer CPE, than to
route a subnet.
This changed when the AT&T/BellSouth infrastructure changed from being
able to get ATM PVC's to PPPoE only network.

And people wonder why Verizon is the first to whine about routing table growth
from deaggregation? ;-)
eh, these end up (I think) aggregated on the edge router, so you get 5
/32's from a /23 (or the like) routed to the edge layer3 device. not
as bloaty for the rest of their network as it at first seems.
In all seriousness, though, I don't think they are routed as /32s. I think
that's one for the Verizon CPE,
5 for your devices all routed as a single /29.
owen, seen the config on a live router, yes they are routed as /32's
to the VC you are connected to. I probably have the config for my old
link in IM/email somewhere. apparently their automation either doesn't
understand CIDR, or it was 'too expensive' to make the automation do
CIDR once they started to offer extra ips to the business customers.
