Why Riverside Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Riverside earned its name honestly. The Snake River flows about a mile south of the community, and when Mormon pioneers arrived in the late 1800s to settle this corner of Bingham County, the river's presence — and the irrigation water it made possible — was the defining fact of the landscape. What had been sagebrush-covered high desert became verdant farmland through the labor of those first settlers and the canal systems they built, and Riverside grew into one of the small but productive agricultural communities scattered across the county that would eventually make Bingham County one of the most celebrated potato-growing regions in America, anchored by the county seat of Blackfoot just to the north — a city that has long carried the informal title of Potato Capital of the World. Riverside's population has grown steadily, reaching 930 by the 2020 census, a reflection of the broader vitality of this stretch of the Snake River Plain.
Anthem's investment in the Riverside area reflects the geographic reality of how this community fits into the broader network: three towers — the Moreland tower to the south and two Blackfoot towers to the north — provide overlapping, redundant coverage across the community from multiple directions, all upgraded in 2024 and 2025 with fiber-fed advanced wireless equipment delivering symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps. That sustained multi-year investment means Riverside isn't served by a single point of failure but by a triangulated network of high-performance towers that together ensure the entire community has access to equal upload and download gigabit speeds. For residents choosing between Sparklight, CenturyLink, and Starlink, Anthem's three-tower symmetrical coverage represents a fundamentally different class of service — locally operated, redundantly built, and anchored in the same agricultural community it serves.
