I contracted with AsahiNet for provider-only service to use a static IP.

From the official website, there were only options for simultaneous contracts with NTT lines or WiMAX, and I couldn’t find the page to contract for provider-only service.

Eventually, I inquired with support and they told me. Apparently, online membership application can be done from the following:

Also, for individual contracts, the payment method is credit card only with no fees, but for corporate contracts there’s a mysterious administrative fee of 500 yen, making it expensive, so if you’re going corporate, another provider might be better.

Of course, even corporations can pay by credit card.

That’s all from the Gemba.
