You just voted to put a self promoting business man to the highest office of the land.. and you are literally 'harping' on another business who is self promoting their product....
What gives ..... Maybe UBNT should be saying... "The AF11x is the best radio, As a matter of fact they only make the greatest Radios, and only they know how to make those radios.. Those are all phenomenal products, very successful " ... Let's all "Make Broadband Great Again" Would that help you in getting off their case ? :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net > From: "Mike Hammett" <af...@ics-il.net> > To: af@afmug.com > Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2017 8:52:02 AM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Our UBNT AF11x experience > Sure, but don't claim you're better when you're not.
