Internet Service in Elko, Nevada
Internet for Nevada's Mining Capital
Elko is the county seat of Elko County in northeastern Nevada — one of the four largest counties by area in the contiguous United States, covering more than 17,000 square miles of high desert, mountain range, and basin. With roughly 21,000 city residents and a county population of around 55,000, Elko's economy is defined by the Carlin Trend, one of the world's most productive gold-mining districts, where operations run by Nevada Gold Mines and Barrick Gold make mining and extraction the region's dominant employer by a wide margin. Elko is also home to a distinct Basque cultural identity — the National Basque Festival has been held here for decades — and a ranching heritage that stretches back generations. Mining operations today are data-intensive: remote equipment monitoring, cloud-connected safety systems, and real-time logistics all require dependable, high-speed internet in a region where reliable broadband has historically been hard to come by. Anthem Broadband changes that for Elko households and businesses.

Why Elko Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Elko has long been the economic engine of northeastern Nevada — a city built on railroads, sustained by cattle ranching, and transformed by gold mining into one of the most productive resource regions in North America. Despite that economic strength, Elko's broadband story has been shaped by the same challenge facing rural communities across the Mountain West: geography and distance made it easy for large national providers to underinvest. Frontier held the DSL footprint for years, and while options like satellite and a handful of local providers existed, residents and businesses in Elko and the neighboring community of Spring Creek often found themselves choosing between slow speeds, unreliable service, or satellite latency — none of which matched the demands of a modern, working community.
That changed when Anthem Broadband entered into a landmark partnership with Nevada Gold Mines, the Barrick-Newmont joint venture that represents one of the largest gold mining operations in the world. Nevada Gold Mines recognized that a connected workforce and community is foundational to long-term regional vitality — and partnered with Anthem to fund the buildout of fiber-fed infrastructure capable of delivering service across the entire Elko and Spring Creek communities. The result is something that communities three times Elko's size still can't claim: symmetrical gigabit-class service up to 2 Gbps, backed by a local provider that actually picks up the phone. Residents who've been paying national providers like Frontier for legacy DSL, or tolerating the latency and data caps of Starlink and Zito, now have a genuinely different option — one built specifically for this community, not adapted from a one-size-fits-all national playbook.

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.
