GFiber Lights Up Idaho
It's been an exciting year for GFiber in Idaho, as we continued to work hard to bring internet service to the Gem State, and we’ve been humbled by the response.
On October 3rd, we began offering service to customers in Pocatello, our first city in Idaho. We celebrated at Lookout Point Park, with representatives from the city, and the energy was electric! Mayor Blad captured the excitement perfectly, highlighting how crucial increased internet access is for residents and businesses.

And earlier this month, we were thrilled to welcome Chubbuck to the GFiber family, beginning to serve customers there as well.
This rollout wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic collaboration with both cities. In early 2023, Pocatello and Chubbuck signed license agreements with GFiber, and the collaboration with city staff has been outstanding ever since. It's a testament to what can be achieved when GFiber and our cities work together towards a common goal.
To that end, GFiber is also jumping in to work with the local communities to help further their digital inclusion goals. Even before we served customers in the region, we started working with Idaho State University in Pocatello to help increase digital literacy in the region. We're proud to support their STEM programs and digital literacy initiatives, and we were deeply touched by the strong ISU presence at our Pocatello ribbon-cutting ceremony, and excited to announce our efforts at a celebration with President Robert Wagner.
This is just the beginning for GFiber in Idaho. We've been busy exploring opportunities in the Treasure Valley and can't wait to bring our services to more neighborhoods in this vibrant region soon. You can check service availability and get updates here.
