Why Rockford Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Rockford's place in southeastern Idaho's story runs along the same railroad track that shaped so many of its neighbors. When the Oregon Short Line extended a branch from Blackfoot in 1910, the line passed through Moreland, then Rockford, then Pingree, Springfield, and Aberdeen — stitching together a corridor of small Bingham County farming communities that would rely on that rail connection to move crops to market and bring settlers to the land. Mormon pioneers had already been breaking sagebrush and digging irrigation canals in this part of the Snake River Plain for decades before the railroad arrived, and Rockford grew as part of that same agricultural expansion that turned the high desert east of Blackfoot into productive potato, wheat, and sugar beet country. Today Rockford is a census-designated community of just over 300 people — small in size but firmly embedded in the agricultural identity of Bingham County, surrounded by the same irrigated farmland that the county's pioneer settlers built from scratch.
The four-tower coverage that Anthem brings to Rockford reflects the community's geography within the broader network. Residents have a dedicated Rockford tower right in the community, and depending on their location and line of sight, they may also connect to the Moreland tower to the south or either of the two Blackfoot towers to the north — all of which have been equipped with advanced wireless gear capable of delivering speeds up to 1 Gbps. That redundancy of options is a meaningful distinction from the Sparklight, CenturyLink, and Rise Broadband alternatives, which have historically offered Rockford residents limited choices without the performance or the local investment that Anthem brings to this corner of the county.

No. Anthem manages every network segment to never exceed 80% utilization, which is especially important in small rural communities where there are fewer towers serving a wider area. We deliberately cap capacity before congestion happens. The speeds you pay for at noon are the speeds you get at 8pm. That's been Anthem's standard since we started serving rural Idaho in 1997. Call 208-677-8000.
No. Anthem doesn't use introductory pricing. What you sign up for is what you pay, consistently, transparently, with no surprise increases. Rural communities deserve straightforward pricing just as much as city customers. Month-to-month options available on all plans. Call 208-677-8000.
No. You can use your existing router with Anthem's service. The Anthem managed router is included with your plan at no cost, it's a good piece of equipment with built-in Wi-Fi and parental controls, but switching to Anthem doesn't require you to replace networking equipment that's already working for you. Call 208-677-8000 to discuss your setup before 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.
