Why Murtaugh Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Murtaugh earned its name through an act of civic generosity. Mark Murtaugh arrived in southern Idaho in the early 1900s as assistant manager of the Twin Falls Land and Water Company — the enterprise that built the canals and infrastructure transforming the Snake River Plain into the agricultural powerhouse it remains today. When the small farming settlement that would grow up along U.S. Route 30, halfway between Twin Falls and Burley, needed a school, Mark Murtaugh donated $500 to get it built. The townspeople returned the favor by naming the community after him. The town they named is as quintessentially Magic Valley as it gets — a quiet farming community surrounded by wheat, sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, and beans, anchored by Murtaugh Lake, which the irrigation project created in 1905 and which locals have used for recreation ever since.
At just over 100 residents within city limits, Murtaugh is one of the smaller communities in Anthem's service footprint, but small size has never meant underserved. Anthem covers the area through a combination of the local Murtaugh tower along with the Skeleton Butte and Ridgeway towers, giving customers coverage options depending on their location and which tower provides the best signal. Depending on that line of sight, Murtaugh residents can receive speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 500 Mbps — a significant improvement over what Sparklight, CenturyLink, and Rise Broadband have historically offered in this corner of Twin Falls County. In a farming community where connectivity supports everything from GPS-guided equipment to grain market monitoring, Anthem's multi-tower reach ensures that Murtaugh's agricultural economy has the broadband infrastructure it needs.
