Why Acequia Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Acequia's name is written in water. When the U.S. Reclamation Service laid out the community in 1906 as part of the Minidoka Irrigation Project, they chose the Spanish word for "water course" — a fitting tribute to the canals that made the community possible. The name marks the precise point where the Main A and B Canals split off the main canal, directing irrigation water across thousands of acres of what had been sagebrush desert just months before. The Minidoka Dam had been completed on July 1, 1906, and the transformation of the Snake River Plain that followed was one of the most consequential engineering achievements in Idaho history. Acequia had been known briefly as Scherrer — named for an early settler who established a general store and post office — but the federal government renamed it in 1907, letting the landscape and its infrastructure write the town's identity. Five miles northeast of Rupert along State Highway 24, Acequia sits at the geographic and historical heart of Minidoka County's irrigation story, a small farming community of just over 130 people whose very existence was made possible by the same canal system its name commemorates.
For Anthem Broadband, Acequia is about as close to home as it gets — the company's headquarters in Rupert is just down the road, and this community has been part of Anthem's service territory since the earliest days of the network. The recent upgrade to the Acequia tower brings that long-standing relationship to a new level, with advanced wireless equipment now delivering symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps — equal upload and download performance that leaves Sparklight, CenturyLink, and Rise Broadband well behind. For a 100% rural community built on the premise that infrastructure investment transforms landscapes and lives, Anthem's commitment to Acequia is a continuation of exactly that tradition.

Call 208-677-8000 before your install to discuss your setup.
Anthem's fixed wireless installation is straightforward and typically completed in one visit. A certified Anthem technician installs a small radio on the exterior of your home or building, pointed toward the nearest Anthem tower.
