I must be getting old!

I run up against this enigma quite a lot so I thought I would share...
If you are a new customer for a business you get a spectacular deal, Ie Breakdown cover, Satelite TV, Phone calls, Mobile phones etc. However if like me you have been with the same company for many years you cannot get the same deals.. Is it me or does this feel wrong?
I have been with the same internet hosting company for the past 10yrs or so but the server im on cannot be upgraded so new customers get new software and the latest databases but unfortunatly as im on the old servers I cannot get these advantages.
I am told I will have to move to the new servers however to do this i have to get a rebate for the years hosting I have already paid and I will have to pay for a new years hosting. What happens to the databases I have no idea but i have been told i will have to download my sites and re upload them on to the new server....
Do I really want to do this.. NO will i do this.. probably... because it will be easier than migrating all my friends and relatives email address's to a new server... which would mean visiting each one and changing their settings..
Any way after that outburst the pic above if of yours truly with my lovely wife at a CRMC bash before XMAS.
