Why Marion Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Marion sits in the Goose Creek Valley just north of Oakley — one of the earliest Mormon pioneer communities in Cassia County, settled in 1879 by families who followed church leaders south from Utah seeking fertile land and reliable water. For more than a century the community farmed quietly in the shadow of the Goose Creek Mountains, and like much of rural Cassia County, its broadband infrastructure never kept pace with its agricultural productivity. Sparklight extended cable service into larger nearby communities but not deep into the valley's rural reaches; CenturyLink's DSL coverage degraded quickly on long copper runs into the hills; and Rise Broadband offered fixed wireless that could be inconsistent depending on terrain. Anthem's presence in the area — through the Cranney, Oakley, Basin, and Mullins towers — addressed that coverage gap across the valley. Recent upgrades to the Cranney and Oakley towers brought advanced wireless equipment to those sites, extending service tiers of 500 Mbps to 1 Gig across Marion and the surrounding corridor. It's a meaningful shift for a community that has been farming this valley for nearly 150 years with broadband infrastructure that felt like it belonged to an earlier era.
