I don't know where you live, but where I live there is no choice for which ISP you use. This is true for many, if not the majority of people in the US. I am unable to use the ISP I want to use because it is blocked in my building by a building-exclusive contract with Comcast. So no ISPs have any chance for an opportunity.

Can you lobby your building administration with the help of your fellow residents? I would get a hold of the exclusivity agreement it and comb over it to look for loopholes, and also determine when it expires.

I've tried. They just stonewall me by claiming that the building is only wired for Comcast and refuse to communicate with me further on the subject.

edit: It's an apartment building not a condo. In my previous condo building it would have been easier to discuss this issue.
