Why Chester Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Chester is the kind of small Fremont County community whose story is woven into the larger fabric of eastern Idaho's agricultural and frontier history. Sitting on US Route 20 just six miles northeast of St. Anthony, the community was part of the settlement wave that followed Fremont County's establishment in 1893 — carved from neighboring Bingham County and named for John C. Frémont, the celebrated American explorer whose expeditions helped map the pathways that would guide settlers into the Snake River Plain. The Shoshone-Bannock and Eastern Shoshone peoples had long called this high country home before those settlers arrived, and the communities that took root in Fremont County did so on land shaped by the Henry's Fork and surrounded by the volcanic terrain of eastern Idaho's high plateau. Chester's post office and community center grew along the highway corridor that today carries travelers northeast toward Yellowstone, and while the community has remained small — its population estimated at around 250 in 1909 and closer to 100 in later decades — its position on a main east-Idaho artery has kept it connected to the broader region.
Connectivity in Chester has historically come down to limited choices: CenturyLink's aging rural infrastructure, Starlink, and HughesNet for those without wired options. Anthem's Rogers tower, supported by additional towers in the area, changed that dynamic by bringing fiber-fed advanced wireless to the community. Depending on location and which tower provides the strongest signal, Chester area residents can receive speeds from 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps — a dramatic improvement over the satellite and legacy alternatives that have long defined the connectivity ceiling in this corner of Fremont County.
