That's merely convention. I've encountered at least one VPS provider handing out /128's.

While a situation like that is really annoying, I bet it's still generally following the rule of one /64 per network. What you're not getting is control over your IPs on that network.

It is more than convention, the /64 is the minimum allocation to support SLAAC. If you're getting less than a /64 you're not getting full support for IPv6.
