Have you ever been given more resources then you paid to receive?

Paid for an i7 2600 but got a i7 3700 at Hetzner, that was roughly one & a half year ago.

They switched over to the i7-3770 but didn't update their website for about a month so everyone who ordered during that period received that surprise.  For many people those early i7-3770's were a very nasty surprise because Hetzner got a bunch of faulty motherboards with bios problems that caused frequent freezes and crashes under any load (big 18 page WHT thread)

my dedicated surprises:

France: ordered i7--920, received W3520

France: ordered Q6700 2x500GB drives, received 2x1TB drives

France: ordered D425 received N2800

France (this one isn't OVH): ordered 8GB RAM received 16GB

US: ordered Pentium 111 533 MHz received 600 MHz <-- this was before the average summerhost was even born

VPS

Turkey: ordered KVM w/512MB RAM/300GB bandwidth received 1GB/1TB (order page hadn't been updated to reflect new specs)

Have you ever been given more resources then you paid to receive?

I could fill up an entire page with a list of low end VPS's where I received less than promised...

Yep we do free upgrades if we don't have a specific item in stock and can't get it in a reasonable timeframe.  We have most dedis deployed within 24 hours so if we can't get hardware within that we'll do reasonable free upgrades.  This is referring to dedis of course.

I have never received more services than what i payed for, i guess some people have more luck than others.
