Exciting New Home Internet Services by SoftBank and ANA X
In a recent announcement that is set to transform the internet experience for users,
SoftBank Corp. and
ANA X Corp. have partnered to roll out two unique home internet services that allow users to earn
ANA miles while utilizing their internet. Scheduled to launch on
August 20, 2026, these services, named
ANA光 powered by SoftBank and
ANAホームWi-Fi powered by SoftBank, cater to different household needs and preferences with outstanding benefits.
Overview of the Services
The collaboration aims to provide two distinctive internet solutions: the high-speed fiber broadband service,
ANA光 powered by SoftBank, designed for users seeking extreme internet speeds, and the
ANAホームWi-Fi powered by SoftBank, which is a home router solution offering flexibility for various household setups. This dual offering ensures that customers can select the service that best meets their living environment and internet usage requirements.
Earn Miles with Daily Internet Use
What sets these services apart is the unique
mileage reward system. Users will accumulate ANA miles through their regular internet usage—a feature that is exclusive to ANA X. With this program, all obtained miles can be utilized not just for
ANA's frequent flyer awards, but also for daily shopping and various life services associated with the
ANA Group, equating to a value of "1 mile = 1 yen".
Customers can earn a significant bonus, accumulating an automatic
4,400 miles each year through various loyalty incentives, which include
2,400 miles for continual monthly usage and an annual renewal bonus.
Monthly Pricing Structure
For ANA光 powered by SoftBank
The pricing for the
ANA光 service has been designed to be competitive and attractive, offering users speeds of up to
10Gbps—this is the maximum achievable speed under optimal conditions. However, potential users are advised to check the
service area specifics, as availability may be limited.
The service comes with a two-year contract, during which users can enjoy reliable internet access. It's important to note that canceling the service prior to the contract expiration will incur a cancellation fee of approximately ¥6,380 depending on the specific plan chosen.
For ANAホームWi-Fi powered by SoftBank
This service is equally compelling, particularly for households looking for wireless solutions. Users can expect promotional discounts making the service highly accessible. The
月月割, or monthly reduction plan, means that for the first 49 months, users will enjoy significant discounts on their basic fees, making it an attractive option for family users.
