There is a common denominator that no one is mentioning! (nor am I going to name them)
However, when it suits, they are happy to force the contractors to work 6 even 7 days per week, happy to turn a blind eye to us completing 7 or 8 even 9 jobs per day. It is impossible to complete 8 jobs per day properly!, happy to turn a blind eye to contractors staff working on their network without any training, and to watch thier contractors pay minimum wage, happy to turn a blind eye to us guys working and driving 60+ hours per week, because there are too many jobs and not enough techs

I was working for Avonline for 4 years up until December last and I can tell ya it was exactly the same. It will never change its the industry.
Virgin + contract company = underpaid & overworked (is my experience and many others)
The only time they are interested in you is when your month figures are poor and up until that point they don't care if you finish at 7/8 near every night.
My advice look for a new career, my social life and regular weekly activities were virtually nil, even worse if you have a wife and family.
When I left it was a massive weight off my shoulders and my life.
