There are about 300 units. I think it costs them around $1000 for the setup from Qwest for data. I'll guess $10/room for phone, and they have some package deal from Dish Network. (From what I can tell, it costs them $17.25 / resident)
So, they're making approximately $35 profit / month.

^^ And from a property owners/managers POV, they have every right to protect their buildings and make a profit. If they disclosed this to you before you moved in and you signed it under no duress then you're kind of boned.
From a tenant POV, if this were me and I was paying for a service that I was not receiving, I would call the property manager and register a complaint every time that the service was unavailable.
Comcast was upgrading their lines near a place I rented a while back. Every time cable was out, call and complain and get a credit off the bill. In the end, it probably didn't speed them up, but at least they were aware of the problem and it saved me a few bucks.
I'd say go this route. demand a credit every time you can not utilize the service you pay for.

Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
I agree. Just become a pain in their ass, and make them wish they had never shared the internet connection in the first place. They are a pain in your ass, so you should become a pain in theirs.

As of now, the internet's been out for over 2 hours forcing me to remote in using my phone's tethering (which isn't exactly as fast as lightning).

As for the issue, don't like the policy don't move there. Sounds like a mistake you'll only make once.
Actually, most of the tenants are military...and it's hard to know how reliable the internet will be before moving in.
