Internet Service in Blackfoot, Idaho
Internet for the Potato Capital of the World
Blackfoot is the county seat of Bingham County and the self-declared Potato Capital of the World — a title earned, not claimed. Bingham County produces roughly 20% of all potatoes grown in Idaho, and the county's potato industry is anchored in and around Blackfoot, which hosts the Idaho Potato Museum (housed in a historic railroad depot) and the annual Eastern Idaho State Fair, one of the largest agricultural fairs in the Northwest. With about 13,600 residents, Blackfoot's economy is anchored by Bingham Memorial Hospital — part of the Bingham Healthcare system employing nearly 1,000 people across eastern Idaho — alongside food processors like Basic American Foods and precision manufacturers like Premier Technology. That blend of agricultural heritage and modern industry creates a community where reliable broadband matters for everyone from farm operations management to hospital staff working telehealth platforms.

Why Blackfoot Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Blackfoot has always punched above its weight. As the county seat of Bingham County and the self-proclaimed Potato Capital of the World, it anchors an agricultural economy that runs on precision, logistics, and increasingly, reliable connectivity. But for years the broadband options available to Blackfoot residents and businesses didn't match that ambition. CenturyLink's DSL infrastructure — built for a different era — covered much of the city but struggled to keep pace with modern bandwidth demands. Sparklight brought cable to portions of the service area, and residents in underserved pockets turned to satellite as a last resort, accepting the latency and weather-dependent reliability that comes with it.
Anthem Broadband has been serving customers in the Blackfoot area for over a decade, building a track record of local accountability that national providers simply can't match. But 2025 marked a turning point: Anthem made a significant infrastructure investment in Blackfoot, deploying fiber-fed towers capable of delivering symmetrical gigabit speeds across the coverage area to hundreds of customers. That investment means Blackfoot residents and businesses now have access to 1 Gbps — equal upload and download — from a locally operated provider that has been part of this community for years. For the farmers, small business owners, remote workers, and families that make up Blackfoot's fabric, it means the reliability and performance that legacy DSL and satellite never consistently delivered is finally here, backed by a provider who picks up the phone.

You can keep your existing equipment. Anthem's service is compatible with your own router. The Anthem managed router comes included with every plan, it's convenient, handles the parental controls app, and works well for most households, but if you have a preferred router or an existing mesh network you want to keep, that's completely supported. Call 208-677-8000 if you have questions about your specific equipment before scheduling installation.
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. The technician then routes a cable from the radio inside your home to either an Anthem managed router, which is included with your plan, or your own router if you prefer to use your existing equipment. The managed router provides built-in Wi-Fi and gives you access to Anthem's parental controls and network management tools from your phone. Most installations are completed in under two hours. Call 208-677-8000 to schedule your installation.
