Red Networks — fibre network installer and internet provider in Randburg
Red Networks builds and runs fibre networks from Randburg, with a focus on multi-dwelling units and residential complexes rather than corporate campuses. The company installs fibre to the home, runs specialised fibre and cabling work, and serves residents in the Gauteng complexes where it has already built. It identifies as women-owned on its Google profile.
Key facts
| Who they are | A Randburg company describing its business as the installation of fibre networks and green technology. In practice it both installs and operates fibre into residential complexes and multi-dwelling units, which is why residents in those complexes deal with Red Networks as their internet provider |
| Services | Fibre to the home installations, MDU fibre installations, specialised fibre services, voice and data cabling, and security equipment including drones |
| Voice | Voice and data cabling rather than a hosted telephony product. If you need a business phone system, this is a connectivity and cabling supplier — the phone platform would come from elsewhere |
| Head office | 114 Gertrude Street, Fontainebleau, Randburg, 2154, Gauteng. The website and the company Google Business Profile agree on this address exactly |
| Ownership | The company Google Business Profile carries the “identifies as women-owned” attribute. If B-BBEE scoring matters to your procurement, ask for the current certificate rather than relying on the profile marker |
| Pricing | Quote-based. No packages or rand figures are published. Where a complex has an existing arrangement, the tariff is often set through the body corporate rather than negotiated individually |
| Coverage | Gauteng, concentrated in complexes and multi-dwelling developments. Reviews reference Roodepoort and surrounding areas |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published. For a company operating networks into residential complexes this is a reasonable question to put directly |
| Customer rating | 3.5 from 35 Google reviews — the lowest score of the providers reviewed in this batch, and published as it stands. The critical reviews cluster around outages in complexes and a lack of backup power during load shedding, and most date from roughly three years ago. Recent feedback is thinner, so ask about current uptime and power backup rather than assuming either the old complaints or their absence tells the whole story |
| Founded | Not publicly stated. No founding year appears on the website |
| Listed In | Fibre Internet Providers |
In a complex, the provider is often chosen for you
Fibre coverage is a geographic question, and with an MDU specialist it is narrower still: what matters is whether Red Networks has already built into your specific complex or development. Where it has, the network is usually there under an arrangement with the body corporate or developer, which means the choice of provider was made before you moved in and switching is a collective decision rather than an individual one. That is worth knowing before you sign anything, because it changes who you escalate to when something goes wrong. The 3.5 rating deserves a plain reading rather than a defensive one. Thirty-five reviews is a reasonable sample, the complaints are specific and consistent, and they centre on repeated outages and equipment without backup power during load shedding. Most of those reviews are around three years old, so they describe how the network ran then rather than how it runs now. Ask for current uptime figures, ask specifically whether the equipment serving your complex is on battery backup, and ask what the escalation path is when the body corporate holds the contract and you do not. If you are choosing a business line rather than a complex connection, compare more widely in the fibre directory.
Who Red Networks is a fit for

If you are in a complex, establish first whether the contract sits with you or with the body corporate, because that determines your escalation route entirely. Ask for current uptime figures and whether the equipment serving your building has battery backup, given the review history around power. For a business line, WhichVoIP can quote you alternatives to compare against.

What does Red Networks do?
It installs and operates fibre networks, with a focus on fibre to the home and multi-dwelling units, plus specialised fibre services, voice and data cabling, and security equipment.
Where does Red Networks operate?
From 114 Gertrude Street, Fontainebleau, Randburg, working across Gauteng. Coverage is concentrated in complexes and developments where it has already built, so the practical question is whether your specific complex is connected.
What is Red Networks rated on Google?
3.5 from 35 reviews. The critical reviews focus on outages and a lack of backup power during load shedding, and most are around three years old. Ask about current uptime and power backup directly.
Does Red Networks provide business phone systems?
Not as a hosted product. It does voice and data cabling as part of its installation work, so the physical wiring is in scope but the phone platform itself would come from a telephony provider.
Can I choose a different provider in my complex?
Often not individually. Where a fibre network is built into a complex under an arrangement with the body corporate or developer, changing provider is usually a collective decision. Check who holds the contract before you sign.
Is Red Networks a B-BBEE contributor?
Its Google Business Profile carries the “identifies as women-owned” attribute. If B-BBEE scoring affects your procurement, ask for the current certificate rather than relying on that marker.
