I am not sure exactly what the thirty day thing was about but I saw a few complain about it back when the 9000 systems first came out but I havn't seen anyone complain about it in a year or so. I upgraded to the 9000 from my hn7000s business system back in June and I still get 2.1Mb/s down and 250kb/s up consistantly. There is latency of course but you will only have problems with that if you play shooter or mmorpg games and you will also have trouble with telephone or vpn systems of course. You can play mmorpg games but you have to adapt somewhat to the latency and be willing to just log off and come back later if the lag gets to great cause it usually doesn't last to long and some games like EQ2 and regular EverQuest do a pretty good job of managing server latency which makes those games playable pretty much full time.
