Just only move to apartments that have the fibre. People are already doing that with windows and bathrooms.

Funnily enough I just signed a new lease in an apartment that doesn't have fibre. We rejected a place that did have fibre, just down the road.

Bigger apartment with better kitchen, view, facilities, and lower price. There aren't many places connected yet, and it's not looking like many more will be.

That's hardly a reasonable solution -- people have to first consider bigger things like proximity to their place of work, good schools, whether or not pets are allowed, etc.

Sure. For lets of people internet access ranks pretty high, though. And for land lords it's not necessary about getting tenants at all, but being able to charge a premium.
