what about if you want a certain unlimited package in a high rise condo?

Last time I lived in an apartment I used dial up with a regular phone line.

I don't see why it would be different than anywhere else. Although you may be limited by the particular apartment. You can still use phone lines for DSL. Or use cable for cable. They might provide wireless to their residents. They might even have fiber to the apartments. If you have direct wireless access, it won't matter if you are in an apartment or not. The only thing about phone lines or cable is that the quality at an apartment may be lower.

Internet Service Providers (ISP) allow their customers to 'lock' or encrypt access to their internet modem. Here's a link that explains it better than I can.

FYI: it's a good idea to turn off your computer while not in use, or do as I do, just disconnect your internet from the computer if you never shut down your PC or laptop.

It isn't too much different from living in a house. I am in a condo now, and I bought the Internet and TV service from the provider. The installer came out to my house, set up the appropriate boxes, and connected them. I haven't noticed too much of a difference in quality either, except for maybe a few more spots where the Internet doesn't work as well, but that could just be the area I'm living in.

You live in a house made of an ATM?

Actual condo that you own is just like house. Apts or rented condos may have required cable internet
