History[]

ITD Network (now Cooolbox) have been in the Internet and telecommunication services market since 1997. Since its very beginning the company has entered into contracts with different international companies for two-way international internet traffic. At this stage, ITD Network mainly provides leased line access services to smaller ISPs and relatively few business customers in the city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

In 1999 they expanded their presence with an office in Sofia, where they managed to significantly expand their customer base and over time became one of the main wholesale Internet service providers.

Since the middle of 2002, ITD Network offers VoIP telephony - a service that has significant economic efficiency.

In 2006, with the introduction of the relevant regulatory framework, ITD Network acquires licenses 116A and 116B and VOIP telephony is transformed into a fixed voice service with the corresponding numbering plan.

Since the beginning of 2008 ITD Network has started the construction of an optical network in Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo to provide internet and telephony to users by using Fiber to the Home Direct Fiber (FTTH - Direct Fiber), or AON. FTTH technology is being used in Bulgaria for the first time by ITD Network to provide mass service to customers and has a number of advantages over alternative solutions.[2]

In 2008, the company started building its own network in the cities of Plovdiv and Veliko Tarnovo, which started the provision of the Cooolbox service. Innovative in its essence, consisting of: Internet delivery, digital TV and telephony. The service is provided to private and business customers and provides significant quality and cost advantages, which is why it‘s also due to successful and market-driven implementation. What is new in imposing this brand is in the complex offer of a different type of service from a single supplier by applying a modern marketing-oriented approach to satisfy consumers needs. ITD Network is one of the first companies to provide this type of combined service.

The Cooolbox network is entirely built on the FTTH - AON technology and is the only one of its kind in Bulgaria. The same technology is used by the Google Internet to build its network in various US cities.[3]

In 2011, ITD Network completed the acquisition of Sofia Online, which ensures a strong presence in Sofia as infrastructure and customer base. In recent years, the network has been completely refurbished and expanded and is consistent with the high standards of technology used.

In 2016, the company changed its name to Cooolbox, with which it ends the process of transformation from an ISP to an end-to-end Internet provider. At the same time, offering a full gigabit service has begun.[4]
