Why Glenns Ferry Chooses Anthem

The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month

Few Idaho communities carry as much history as Glenns Ferry. This is where the Oregon Trail met the Snake River at Three Island Crossing — one of the most consequential river crossings in the entire westward migration, where thousands of pioneers faced the dangerous choice of fording the river or taking the longer southern route. In 1869, a man named Gus Glenn built a ferry about two miles upstream to ease that crossing, and the city that grew around it took his name. By 1871, Glenns Ferry was established as a community, and it has served as one of the key stops along the Snake River corridor — today anchored by Interstate 84 between Boise and Twin Falls — ever since. That deep historical identity makes it all the more striking that for most of this century, Glenns Ferry's broadband options looked much like the rest of rural Elmore County: CenturyLink DSL, satellite providers, and limited fixed wireless alternatives that left both residents and local businesses underserved.

In 2025, Anthem Broadband made a significant multi-tower investment in Glenns Ferry that transformed the connectivity landscape for the entire city. Our teams completed three separate infrastructure projects: the new Glenns Ferry water tower installation, the Little Ferry tower buildout, and the upgrade of our existing tower on Railroad Ave. Together, these three projects ensure that both the commercial district and the residential areas of Glenns Ferry have access to fiber-fed advanced wireless internet at speeds up to 1 Gbps. It's the kind of comprehensive, city-wide commitment that national providers have never extended to a community of Glenns Ferry's size — and it reflects exactly what Anthem means when we talk about investing in the communities we serve, not just the markets that pencil out on a spreadsheet.

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.
