Austria cited CERN's recent decision to go off the pill as its primary reason for pulling out, but says they are still not willing to go back to using condoms.
Don't get ready to move across the country for this service just yet. This is just the beginning. DOCSIS 3.0 is the new standard that supports bonding together traditional cable modem channels to support these kinds of speeds, and the equipment that supports it is currently in late development stages and is being tested by all of the major cable operators. You are going to see a lot more announcements like this one over the next few years, possibly in your area.
This story doesn't surprise me at all. I am a developer for next generation cable equipment, and we have also seen problems with Windows XP mysteriously and severely limiting our downspeed tests (to about half of our expected speed). We spent a lot of time banging our heads against our own cable modem firmware and the network config on the laptop before we finally figured out that Windows XP was the root cause of the limited bandwidth. Not much more we could do to figure out exactly why since Windows isn't open source. Maybe we should have installed Ubuntu on the laptop.
Why would MS need to make their products work well? The majority of Windows users don't know enough to measure how much it sucks anyway.
...Maury Povich will have a new DNA test for his show. Yes, Laquisha, Tavon is a cheater, and after this commercial break, we'll find out if he's the father of your baby too.

I'm skeptical until I see a video of how it handles stairs. I can't imagine that is very graceful or dignified (or safe for that matter).
