I'm preparing to set up 2 S9's in my basement/work studio.
I recall hearing that internet providers often choke the service of people using a lot of bandwidth.

Have you heard of "hobbyist" miners getting flagged as running servers or otherwise having their internet being interfered with by local ISPs?

The problem is different, I have not yet observed a decrease in bandwidth. My provider is very stable and truthful.

Ever since the invention of stratum mining, bandwidth hasn't been a real concern with mining.  Running 2 S9 miners is definitely not something you'd be throttled for.

Thank you. It was a big "uh oh, what if I go thru all this then Verizon shuts me down?" moment for me.
