Technical question about high speed internet [View all]

I live in an apartment complex. I've had the same ISP for 4 years for internet and television. I'm satisfied with ISP#1. Well a couple of months ago a new landlord bought out the old one. Rent went up, service went down. On Friday they announced that they are coming into our apartments next week to get us ready for ISP#2.

The one thing I really don't want is to be forced off of ISP#1 and forced to buy ISP#2. When I called my ISP and asked, they said you can only have wiring for one ISP.

Just for the heck of it I called ISP#2 and asked the same question. They said I could have wiring and ports for both. So WTF? I always thought the residential areas were split up so that you could only get one or the other.

Can anyone shed light on this?
