TalkTalk has written to the Department of Culture , Media and Sport ( BDUK ) calling for consultancy Andrew Mason ( AM ) to be removed from work for government broadband officials . Citing conflicts of interest , AM 's role was referred to as " untenable " , with TalkTalk claiming it " is likely as a matter of course to give less weight to our views than to the views of its client BT . In a letter seen by The Daily Telegraph, TalkTalk claimed Analysys Mason’s work for government broadband officials risked a “perception that BT is being favoured due to holding influence over BDUK’s advisers”. " AM 's report for government " may be influenced by its failure to secure more commercial work from BT " , said the letter . A representative from the consultancy claimed any new ultrafast broadband was " highly unlikely " to succeed , effectively supporting BT 's campaign to prevent the splitting out of BT .
