The thing to bear in mind is that everything on pfsense or behind it arrives on the same link local address. Does it really matter which internal address? If you have an address on the WAN interface, it behaves the same as any other address. Also, the WAN address has absolutely nothing to do with your prefix. So, what is it you're hoping to achieve by putting an address on the WAN port. As far as I can tell, you need a destination address. Does it really matter what that address is, so long as it's always there? Perhaps I'm missing something. Again, if you absolutely need a WAN address, you can do it at the FreeBSD level.
As for time zones, Rogers covers 5.5 of them, all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I'm not sure how far east Telus goes. Do they provide Internet outside of B.C. and Alberta. I've only worked with them on jobs in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. I'm near Toronto. About the only thing Telus around here is cell phone service and that's often over Bell's network.
I'm surprised Telus isn't providing a WAN address. Are you sure that's the case? Or are you just following the instructions above to only request a prefix?
Telus definitely does not provide a WAN address. The settings for pfSense to work with Telus are:
Request only an IPv6 prefix is mandatory. It will not work otherwise.
The prefix delegation size must be /56. Nothing else will work.
Do not wait for RA is mandatory. It will not work otherwise.
Do not allow PD/Address release is recommended, but not necessary. Telus will delegate the same prefix to a given DUID, unless it was reallocated in the interim. This should only happen if the router is offline for quite a while. Note also that Telus will not delegate a prefix if there is currently an active lease on the same MAC.
