Why Sofia
Bulgarian bandwidth is among the cheapest in the Union and Sofia is where it aggregates. Take SOF1 for volume — mirrors, backups, anything egress-heavy — or for the short hop into the Balkans, Turkey and the Black Sea, which the western European hubs only reach by detour.
How Sofia is connected
Routing out of Sofia is terrestrial: fibre corridors run north to Bucharest, west through Belgrade and Vienna towards Frankfurt, and south-east to Istanbul, where the Asian subsea systems begin. Netix and BIX.BG hold the domestic networks, and Bulgarian ISPs have been laying fibre deep into the city for two decades. Transit pricing here has never tracked the west.
