There was a really small one that serviced half of my apartment complex in Pleasant Grove, Utah back in 2006 or so. A colleague who lived in the same complex told me about them. I called to see if I could sign up and the guy came out to my apartment and told me that because my apartment faced the inner courtyard, I wouldn't get good service, so he couldn't sign me up. :\
The ONLY internet access available was provided by the apartment complex itself. I think they had a few T1s split between a couple hundred units. Even 10 years ago, that was still embarrassingly bad. It was unusable in the evenings or weekends. You could do a traditional ARP spoof and read everyone's traffic. Really bad stuff.
I had no option but to deal. I set up a VPN to protect and compress my traffic and spent weekends at the homes of friends and family.
These days, I hear wireless ISPs are far more versatile and reliable. They're great options for people who get stuck like I was (as long as your apartment points the right direction!).
