Maybe if AT&T got it right, they wouldn't have anything to complain about. It boggles my mind that you can still use Consumer Report's metrics when choosing your car, because after 100 years of auto industry, some car companies still can't produce a car with full marks across the board. The same applies to cell phone carriers.

Hundreds of billions (1*10^11) IS ridiculously minute, as there are 6*10^23 atoms in just a gram of Hydrogen. To give you some idea of how great a difference that is, Pluto is on average about 6*10^12 meters (not km) from the Sun. Fortunately we don't need that much for the sorts of experiments they'll be doing.
