Internet Service in Meridian, Idaho
Internet for Idaho's Fastest-Growing City
Meridian has added over 100,000 residents since 2000 — a 309% surge that makes it one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States — and it shows no signs of stopping. Home to Scentsy's global headquarters, a major healthcare corridor anchored by St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus medical centers, and a median household income topping $100,000, Meridian is no longer a suburb of Boise — it's a city in its own right. But rapid growth also means overloaded networks: cable infrastructure built for yesterday's population buckles under today's demand. Anthem Broadband's fiber delivers consistent, symmetrical speeds across Meridian's newest subdivisions and established neighborhoods alike — because a city growing this fast deserves internet that keeps pace.

Why Meridian Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Few American cities grew as fast as Meridian. A community of fewer than 10,000 residents in 1990, Meridian's population exploded to nearly 35,000 by 2000 and surpassed 117,000 by the 2020 census — a growth rate that outpaced infrastructure at nearly every level, including broadband. As subdivision after subdivision came out of the ground through the 2000s and into the 2010s, CenturyLink DSL was frequently the first — and sometimes the only — wired broadband option available to new homes, while cable infrastructure worked to catch up to development. Even today, with Sparklight cable reaching 97% of the city, fiber remains available to fewer than 30% of Meridian homes. Anthem has been serving customers across the Treasure Valley since 2010, bringing a competitive alternative into a market where incumbent options were stretched thin by demand. Today, Anthem's fiber-fed advanced wireless Meridian tower delivers Gig-capable service to hundreds of Meridian customers — providing the kind of high-speed, local connectivity that the city's rapid growth long made difficult to come by.

No, and in fast-growing communities with a lot of households all going online after dinner, this is one of the most important questions to ask any provider. Anthem manages our network to never exceed 80% utilization. That means we cap the number of subscribers on each network segment before it gets congested.

Call 208-677-8000.
No. Anthem doesn't run promotional pricing. The rate you sign up at is the rate you keep, there's no 12-month or 24-month introductory period after which your bill jumps. In communities where families are managing budgets carefully, knowing your internet bill won't unexpectedly increase is worth something. Month-to-month options available on all plans. No credit check required. Call 208-677-8000.
You can keep your existing equipment. Anthem's service is compatible with your own router. The Anthem managed router comes included with every plan, it's convenient, handles the parental controls app, and works well for most households, but if you have a preferred router or an existing mesh network you want to keep, that's completely supported. Call 208-677-8000 if you have questions about your specific equipment before scheduling 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.
