My apartment complex has a contract with Time War...err, bright house networks, and they are the only cable provider I can use. They let me choose among roadrunner, earthlink, and the others as "ISPs," but since TW/bhn lays down the law no matter who's the nominal ISP, it's really an empty gesture. For phone service, had I any, I'd be required to use Verizon - I'm not really sure how the DSL provider/isp service would work with them, since the cost is so prohibitive that I didn't check into it more deeply than doing a surface scan of rates.
