Why Carey Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Carey sits at the crossroads of US-20 and US-26/93 in the agricultural heart of Blaine County, about as different from the ski resort culture of Hailey and Ketchum to the north as a community can be while sharing the same county. Founded around 1884 by Latter-day Saint settlers and named after an early pioneer, Carey grew as a farming community alongside Silver Creek — the renowned blue-ribbon trout stream — and the Little Wood River. For most of its history, that agricultural setting also meant living with agricultural-grade connectivity: limited DSL from CenturyLink, satellite as the fallback, and the slow infrastructure investment pace that has characterized rural Blaine County outside the Wood River Valley resort corridor.
Anthem Broadband changed the equation for Carey in a meaningful way, securing State of Idaho CARES Act grant funding to build out a genuine fiber-optic network serving the city — bringing the kind of infrastructure investment to Carey that the market alone would never have delivered to a community of this size. In-town customers now have access to Anthem's fiber network, while residents on the north and south ends of the city outside the fiber footprint are served by Anthem's two towers, extending high-speed wireless coverage to the areas fiber doesn't yet reach. The result is a community where the vast majority of residents have a real high-speed option — backed by a locally operated provider that pursued the grant, built the infrastructure, and continues to invest in Carey rather than waiting for a national carrier to notice it exists.

No. Two reasons: first, Anthem actively manages our fiber network to never exceed 80% of capacity. Second, fiber optic infrastructure has far greater bandwidth headroom than cable or wireless, which means the same number of subscribers puts proportionally less strain on the network. Evening peak hours on Anthem fiber look the same as midday. You pay for a speed, you get that speed. Call 208-677-8000.
No. Anthem doesn't use introductory pricing on fiber or any other service. Your rate is your rate, stable from day one. No promotional period, no rate adjustment after year one, no annual contract required to lock in the price. What you see is what you pay. Call 208-677-8000 to confirm fiber pricing at your address.
Yes. Anthem fiber service is compatible with your own router. The fiber connection terminates at the NID box on the outside of your building, and the technician can route that connection to your personal router rather than the Anthem managed router. The Anthem managed router is included with your plan at no extra charge, it's a capable unit with built-in Wi-Fi and parental controls, but customers who prefer their own equipment, especially for symmetrical-speed optimization or advanced home network configurations, are fully supported. Call 208-677-8000.
Anthem fiber installation involves running fiber optic cable underground to your property, the fiber is trenched and spliced into Anthem's fiber network. At your home or building, the fiber arrives at a small weatherproof box on the outside wall called a Network Interface Device, or NID. From the NID, a certified Anthem technician routes a cable inside your home to an Anthem managed router, which provides built-in Wi-Fi and access to Anthem's network management and parental control tools from your phone. Fiber delivers symmetrical speeds, your upload speed equals your download speed, which is critical for video calls, cloud backups, and remote work. Most fiber installations are completed in a single visit. Call 208-677-8000 to schedule your installation.
