Worst service ever. Cant even switch to another vendor.. What a MONOPOLY

We moved to a new apartment in midtown east in New York City last August. Everything works well except for the Internet provided by Verizon.
 
We have had terrible experience with Verizon Fios since day one. It has been the worst Internet service provider we have ever experience. Back in last August, it took us hours of calls with customer service and 3 appointments to get a technician to set up the service. We had Spectrum over and they told us Verizon is the only allowed vendor in this building. We called the verizon rep that is responsible for the building and the rep claimed to be only sales rep and had no contact with verizon's service department. 
 
So we have been stuck to verizon despite its slow Internet speed and higher pricing than Spectrum. Yesterday morning, we had issue with Verizon fios again. I spent more than 3 hours on the phone and Verizon has rescheduled/cancelled their appointment twice since 12pm yesterday. I took today off work to wait to Verizon technician to come becuase the verizon rep told us the technician would come today. So i waited and waited... aha, no surprise that verizon cancelled my appointment even without notice. I called verizon post the scheduled time and was told that my appointment got cancalled. 
 
As of 5pm EST now, I still have no Internet service at my place and no Verizon technician showed up in the last 32 hours since the frist time I spent an hour with verizon rep on the phone. I am forced to use the Internet in the gym since yesterday to work. My roommates and I all have to work and don't have as much time as we wish to waste on speaking to Verizon customer service. 
 
Good job, verizon, in creating a monopoly in a building and leaving the tenants without no choice to switch.
