> 2. Rogers/Shaw/Bell/Telus immediately offer better terms for the residents of that building.

I was about to write a whole comment about how I've never seen this myself and to disagree with you I was going to compare the price of Bell Fibre in my building to Beanfield. The latter of which I have at $50/mo at 1Gbps.

But then I loaded up Bell's availability page and entered my address... it was almost like a sick joke. The spinner was saying "Checking availability" or something like that. However, I could see the page with prices behind it darkened out while it was running. It was $115/mo for 2 years and $125/mo after that for 1Gbps fibre. But when the spinner was done and they "checked my availability"... well what do ya know! It's now magically $50/mo. Pretty disgusting that they can get away with that.
