The phone business is dead as everyone has mobiles.

Broadband, they no longer have a monopoly on fast speeds.

Maybe they are trying to slowly wind the business down and minimise losses?
i dont really know what they're trying to achieve. they need to get into bed with big streaming providers since they couldn't be arsed starting their own streaming service when it was new.

virgin have shown they can do that with netflix. they now need to get into bed with disney and paramount etc. all those providers are desperate for growth.
