AT&T gave him a quote of a data rate "at .015 cents, or a penny and a half, per kb." Looks like AT&T didn't learn from Verizon's inability to do math. AT&T is also claiming Savage downloaded over 9 GB, which he calls "frakking impossible." Savage is leading Twitter users in a revolt."

Title was supposed to end with "bad AT&T math," but looks like it got truncated. My bad.
