If you are a home user, then 16 subnets should be enough. Like you should get 2001:db8:beef::/60. That should cover your home routers two SSIDs. A/48 is only something you should need if you are a large company and could use 64,536 subnets. I doubt that even Google or Facebook or Twitter would need more than that
I didn't ask for a/48 -- I am just given it. This should speak volumes about the number of addresses available.
Just like our head-office has 3 different lines with this company, each line with its own/48.
IPv6 has more than enough addresses to give each device its own, so there's no NAT in IPv6.
While IPv6 has more than enough addresses for every device, do ISPs allocate enough addresses for your average consumer? As far as my ISP is concerned, they only allocate me 1 IPv4 address and that you can't get more unless you get a business package or another line. This would greatly increase my monthly bill if every single device needs their own address.
Short answer: Yes.
You should get either one subnet of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses or 65,536 subnets (each subnet with the previously mentioned number of addresses).
The smallest subnet that should be allocated for IPv6 is a/64 which is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses
A/48 has 65,536/64's or 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 individual addresses
My current line at home is a 'business' connection and they provide a/48 as standard.

Seagate and Toshiba are effectively the only players left in the HDD scene. SSDs are a different story, of course.
That second link was an April fools joke.
The first link confirms that the 3 HDD manufactures are Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital.
