Redtrain internet can be confusing for people looking to connect to it. In simple terms, it is a private fibre network like the NBN or Opticomm. They basically provide the infrastructure to facilitate the connection of your broadband with an internet service provider. If you’re home or business is in an area that operates on the Redtrain network, Compare Broadband can get you connected to the right plan. The great news is that internet plans on the Redtrain network give you a FTTP (fibre to the premises) connection which will be super fast.

Redtrain Networks

The Redtrain Network is a superfast broadband fixed-line wholesale fibre operator that utilises a network of telecommunications exchanges to service the expanding housing footprint of Australia. Not only can it power ultrafast broadband, TV services, and public Wi-Fi networks, but also other smart applications as well as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Redtrain is dedicated to providing cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure that meets future needs—both for new property developments and existing communities seeking a technology upgrade. Their advanced infrastructure and customisable deployment techniques allow them to work with property developers, builders, and other stakeholders to create superior internet connections for the new communities they are creating.

By connecting directly to the fibre infrastructure of Redtrain, you can access internet speeds up to 100Mbps consistently. Whether you’re a single user or an entire office block, Redtrain’s superior fibre optic cable connections and range of plans are designed to meet your needs. Get in touch today to learn more about our Redtrain plans and providers, and find out how we can help you get connected!

 

Redtrain VS NBN

A Redtrain connection to the customer's premises is similar to an NBN FTTP (Fibre to the Premises). It uses the same access technology as the NBN. The only real difference between the two networks is the equipment. Redtrain uses equipment deployed through the Fibre Distribution Network (FDN) and manages the live system.

Redtrain Fibre is a superior alternative to most NBN connections since its delivery method does not rely on decades-old infrastructure. Unlike NBN Co's strategy, which uses legacy copper wires and sometimes even coaxial cables (known as Hybrid Fibre Coaxial or HFC) to make up for their FTTP national rollout shortcomings, Redtrain utilises cutting-edge technology that ensures more reliable speed and performance.

Compared to Redtrain's FTTP technology, the maximum NBN speed capabilities for uploads and downloads are significantly limited by traditional access technologies due to their inability to transmit signals faster than an optic fibre.

Redtrain's Integrated Communications Network (ICN) also offers an impressive selection of services, ranging from Free-to Air (FTA) and Foxtel. However, despite its advantages, the availability of Redtrain FTTP is limited to certain areas compared to NBN, which has been mandated by the government for 90% of Australian households.

At the end of the day, whether you are on the NBN™ network or Redtrain’s, you’re stuck with whatever network services your address. There are m,nay peop, that would move home just to change their network provider. Although my Gen Z kids would push hard for it!
