Why Malta Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Malta's origin story is more poetic than most Idaho communities — settlers in the 1880s looked out across the vast open sagebrush plain and thought it felt like an island in a wide sea, so they named it after the Mediterranean island. The post office opened in 1883, and the community that grew up around it has quietly persisted as one of Cassia County's small agricultural anchors ever since. As with much of rural southern Idaho, broadband arrived slowly and unevenly here: CenturyLink DSL reached parts of Malta, but signal quality on long rural copper runs left a lot to be desired, Rise Broadband offered fixed wireless coverage as a step up, and Starlink filled in for households that couldn't get a reliable terrestrial signal. Anthem has served Malta for years from its local tower, but a 2025 upgrade to advanced wireless equipment changed the conversation entirely — taking what had been a basic rural service point and turning it into a full-capability connection capable of delivering between 500 Mbps and 1 Gig. For a community of fewer than 200 people, access to that tier of service puts Malta on equal footing with much larger Idaho cities.
