no .. we're only talking about operational upgrade situations .. sometimes you can be upgraded as a gesture of goodwill but that would be in specific cases (witnessed it once with overbooking on OS when a mum and a small kid were upgraded ..I was a VDB too but from what i overheard they had problems with their previous connection too.. )
