Why Albion Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Albion carries a name drawn from antiquity — the ancient poetic name for Great Britain — and a history that punches well above its current size. Founded in the early 1870s as a ranching community near the Oregon Trail, Albion was one of the first significant settlements in what would become Cassia County, and when the county was created by territorial legislation on February 20, 1879, Albion became its first county seat. That status lasted nearly four decades before the county seat moved to the more centrally located Burley in 1918 — but Albion had already secured its place in Idaho history through a distinction no other small town in the region can claim. Beginning in 1893, the Albion State Normal School opened its doors, and for nearly 60 years it trained Idaho teachers, sending educated professionals across the state to build the public school system. When the Normal School closed in 1951 and its programs transferred to Idaho State College in Pocatello, Albion lost its anchor institution — but the legacy of a community that educated a generation of Idaho teachers remains part of the city's character, preserved in the historic buildings that still stand at the base of the Albion Mountains in the Cassia Valley.
Today Albion is a small city of just over 200 residents where the connectivity options have historically reflected the remoteness of its mountain valley setting — CenturyLink's aging infrastructure, Rise Broadband, and Starlink covering the gaps. Anthem's recently upgraded Albion tower changes that picture, bringing fiber-fed advanced wireless at speeds up to 500 Mbps to a community whose educational heritage and scenic character deserve broadband infrastructure worthy of the name.
