I binge-watched the latest season of House of Cards.Even though my wife and I pay for an upgraded Verizon FiOS Internet package, every episode came through in painfully grainy quality. Every now and then, when the scenery barely moved, it would snap into much better focus, only to remind me how bad the viewing quality was. Obviously, as we later learned, the issue wasn’t Verizon to my house, but Netflix to Verizon.

我一集不落地看了《纸牌屋》的最新一季。尽管我和我妻子购买了威瑞森的FiOS套餐升级版，每集的画质依然惨不忍睹。时不时地，每次画面基本定格的时候，清晰度就会明显上升，这只能让我想到画面质量究竟有多糟糕。就像我们后来了解到的那样，问题显然不是出在威瑞森到我们家这个环节，而是奈飞到威瑞森。

The problem is potentially bigger: Cord-cutters like to talk about being free of the constraints of cable bundles, but the trend I’m seeing is that bandwidth deals could turn into bundles themselves. Imagine you move into a new neighborhood and have a choice of Internet service providers; before you select, you need to do some homework on who has deals in place with the video content companies you like to watch over the Internet.

问题可能会变得更严重：拒绝有线电视的人喜欢把摆脱有线电视套餐的束缚挂在嘴边，但我看到的趋势是，网络视频服务本身也可能以套餐形式出现。想象一下，你搬了家，可以在一些网络服务供应商之间进行选择；那么在你做出决定之前，你需要先考察一下，看看哪些网络公司可以提供你喜欢在线观看的视频内容。
