kerryked wrote: » Out of interest, why do you want SIRO? Unless you are running a business or downloading an insane amount of data I can't see the advantage of 1Gbps speeds to the average household user. Fair enough if there are no other options available but I would presume for the average use of streaming on Netflix, browsing websites, sending emails etc that the 15/20/25Mbps offered by the other providers would be sufficient? Obviously it's nice to have fibre broadband and I look forward to the day that it's properly implemented throughout the country but at the moment I can't really see the advantage of it for the average household user.

Operators offering services over both Siro and Eir fibre offer a range of speeds starting at 150MB/s - you don't need to pay for 1GB/s unless you want that. Vodafone is currently the only operator offering Siro in Tralee. There's no word of Digiweb or any other Siro partner extending their offering to Tralee.

On a separate note, someone mentioned a while back that you can't drive around by that above location and go out via Bowling buddies to The Playdium/Mr price. Anyone know why that is? I had to turn around last week.

They had by far the best pizza in town and were not afraid to try innovative initiatives such as comedy etc. The owners and staff were all ways very friendly and efficient. A friend of mine who ran a very successful restaurant in Tralee always said that Tralee people simply won't pay for quality. A any good pizza places in town apart from the global brands and pizza time (god awful pizza).

On top of that you have domino's, la scala, pizza time and new yorkers at the cheaper end of the market all selling pizza. The roast house isn't super cheap but there is always consistently high quality food there and they are doing a roaring trade, difference being they are right in the centre of town.
