| - Very happy to be a Volo broadband customer. Just got a fiber install to my apartment when ITV3 refused to provide service due to lack of signups (very silly on ITV3's part, since most students have high turnover for apartments and they have done little to garner student interest). The service is actually a gigabit, you can tell from Speedtest that the speeds are only limited by backbone fiber up to Chicago, etc. The prices are very good for the speed, as compared to local incumbent telco. The install was very quick, professional, and cleanly done.
(edit: 5/31/16, ignore this paragraph) On the downsides, you are getting a private IPv4 address with no native IPv6 support, but this is only really a problem if you want to run a server. This is easily alleviated with a VPN, and at gigabit speeds, I really don't mind. The IPv4 exhaustion has been ongoing for years, long before Volo existed, and old telco companies only have the advantage because they have been around longer. If you really need a public IPv4/IPv6 to your residence, you should probably look into business or metro ethernet plans.
Nevermind, read the comment by Peter below and the Volo FAQ on their website, x.x.x.254 on your subnet is DMZ'd. You still don't get an IPv6 address, but that's an easier problem to solve compared to no public IPv4.
