then I have no idea what the issue is
The fact that i have to go around hunting for it and setup a gateway manually? Its just beyond my why cant they just enable RA and call it a day.....

I just ran Packet Capture on my WAN port for a few hours. I saw no RAs. Other other hand, I was seeing RAs every few minutes on the LAN side. I don't think RAs are normally provided on a cable modem connection, as the necessary info is contained within the DHCPv6-PD packets. However, you might ask your ISP why a computer also doesn't work. It doesn't require any configuration.
When I had a problem with my ISP a few years ago, I arranged for a senior tech to come out with his own modem, to see if it would work. It failed, as I expected. He then went to the office and connected his modem to 4 different CMTS. It failed only with the one I was connected to.

Well if this was normal behavior pfsense wouldnt have issues setting the wan connection up. But it does so i can only assume its out-of-spec..... And as i wrote before the ISP basically brushing me off.
And just as an extra bit last night i had internet outage, the fe80:: gateway i set manually isnt working anymore. Also still no gw address from the ISP.

You said an ordinary computer doesn't work. Try complaining about and see what they say. I know it can sometimes be difficult to get through support.
