Hetzner removes traffic limitation for dedicated servers

Well, with all respect, you got what you paid for. This is the difference in between bare bones dedicated server hosting and managed hosting of any kind.

At one of my previous workplaces, we had a park of around 3k servers, with 2k of them on Hetzner. At such scale, you can not physically escape from the fact that all kinds of weird stuff happens with hardware, like buggy raid cards, physically unrebootable servers, dead cores, faulty and fake memory, bitrot, throttling due to underpowered PSUs,etc.

My favourite find was a "xeon 2637v3" with 6 cores (2 extra cores for free! unlike the normal sku.)

And we always had argument about their service, availability, giving us three faulty raid cards in a row, sued them few times for a refund, but... the company still liked them sooo much.

I don't know, how is the formula for "you get what you pay for"? Double the price = half the issues? Still not in Hetzner's favor. I've paid twice the price at other German hosters and had zero problems over many years.

Also I wasn't really complaining I'd like to think - I was just stating facts. I saw like 10 "this is so awesome" replies here, am I not allowed to say I've not been a happy customer?

That doesn't make sense. You can still get barebones hosting and not get dying disks and bad support.
