does anyone know how much bandwidth 1 dual blade Ant needs?
not much. looking at my router for banwidth monitoring:
LAN: 22kbps IN / 25kbps OUT
WAN: 10/12
Wifi: 20/22
This is between 6 antminers, a bitfury, my laptop, and a 2MH/s scrypt rig. Its safe to say that the bandwidth usage is next-to-nothing
for renting a co-location, you need the slowest option they have. you could probably get away with dial-up. (This is the reason i opted away from the co-location route; datacenters are designed for FAST internet and moderate power demand. Bitcoin miners only need a basic internet connection but HIGH power demand)
So lets say you did colocate. How would you access the miners remotely? Would that be possible to setup?
I see there being two ways:
1) via IP access to the unit. this could be difficult or unallowed by the data center's firewalls and certainly require having explicit permissions set for the ip range of your miners
2) install a small pc that you can connect to remotely via teamviewer or similar, and use that to access the local miner IP addresses
The second option is probably the most common I would imagine
