The piggy in the middle is TalkTalk. It pretty much buys in everything be it broadband or content. Hence it has been squeezed and has had to downsize some of its content.
Also you have to remember Talk Talk have not exactly done themselves any favours with a history of security lapses and amateurish gaffes.
