I believe you can use a dynamic IPv4 address for your tunnel for only as
long as it is assigned to you. Then you would be using something like the
freenet6 service on an intermittent basis (i.e., you need to redo the
tunnel if you get a new address).
=> there are two possible answers:
- technical one (or how to do it)
- not technical one (or why your ISP doesn't want to sell real Internet
access). In this case the "one dynamic IPv4 address" is only a part
of the whole problem...

PS: I am still convinced that home networks are an important thing for
the iPv6 future then we should keep this question.
