Of course nothing will have 100.0 (repeating)% uptime. But 99.7% uptime means it can be down for over 2 hours every month. Anything less than 99.9% uptime (which means 3x less allowed downtime--a big difference) is probably unacceptable, and if downtime costs you serious money, you're going to want more decimal places.
