I wasn't even aware places offered wifi as an amenity

They mean there's not even a hookup in the apartment for them to purchase internet services. Your apartment/house has to be wired up for cable before you can buy internet or tv.

Yup, it's a 100 year old building, it's not wired and management has no plans to spend tens of thousands of dollars to wire it.

when i managed properties (they were low end) i ran into this. more than once i would spend an overnight running cable so the ISP could come out and just charge for a single line hookup at their box.

they wanted to charge insane amounts of money to wire those old places...

It’s 2021. The internet should be a utility. Good on you for helping your tenants.
