    It's possible that they have run out of connections for new customers - the equipment that serves your building might be full. I'd call them back and ask why they say you can't receive service and explain that others in the building do.

    I don't see that your rights come into it, they have no obligation to offer you service.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
