Can I break my apartment lease if they are switching cable companies and I go without service for awhile?

I have been living in a place for 3 years and it took over a year to get my DSL. Now the cable company we have is going out of business and it appears that we are going to go without cable for awhile. The apartment complex has known about this for over 3 months and are just now starting to do something about it. Can I legally break my lease for them not providing basic services?

LOL!!! DSL and cable are not "basic services". Water is basic.

No, this has no bearing on your lease.

No you cannot break your lease for that reason. Cable or Internet service is not a need or a necessity for which you cannot live with out. For example you can break your lease for infestation, inadequate plumbing i.e. toilet, shower, no electricity or Heat, etc. Not for a luxury item such as Internet or Cable. They can sue you and ruin your credit.

Unless it is a guaranteed amenity in your lease you don't stand a chance.

However, I hold it could be leverage to force them to allow satellite dishes.

Cable is NOT a basic service. Basic services include, electricity, heat, gas, water, sewer & garbage disposal.
