Why Sterling Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Sterling carries a story shaped as much by water as by the pioneers who first settled here. William G. Stufflebeam homesteaded in the Springfield-Sterling area in 1884, part of the early wave of settlers who broke sagebrush and diverted Snake River water to turn Bingham County's high desert into farmland. Sterling grew as a small agricultural community between Aberdeen to the south and Springfield to the north, its residents building the kind of self-reliant frontier life that defined rural southeastern Idaho in the late nineteenth century. But when the American Falls Dam was built and the reservoir began to rise, Sterling paid a price that few communities in Idaho can claim. Parts of the original townsite were inundated by the encroaching reservoir, and by the early 1940s the community's cemetery had to be relocated — some graves moved to Springfield, some to Aberdeen, and some to places no longer known. What the reservoir took, it kept. The Sterling Wildlife Management Area that now bears the community's name along the Snake River shoreline stands as a quiet testament to land that once supported homesteads and has since returned to a different kind of use.
The Sterling that remains is a small, resilient community where CenturyLink, Starlink, and HughesNet have historically represented the practical ceiling for connectivity. Anthem serves the area from two directions — the Beck tower and the Springfield tower — with residents connecting to whichever provides the clearest line of sight from their property. Either way, customers receive basic wireless service at speeds up to 100 Mbps, delivered by a locally invested provider that has built deep roots in this stretch of Bingham County on both sides of the reservoir.
