according to this old thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-much-bandwidth-does-mining-take-10860, the usage is very low around 2mb per hour, you can build a huge farm and still consume very low

bandwidth is never a problem with mining, initial investment, consumption/cooling and space are the real problem

thanks for this., i always wondered how much bandwidth does the ASIC uses, at my place internet goes down frequently.
i wonder what hapens when internet goes down, does the ASIC keeps mining or just goes haywire ?

The bandwidth requirements are very negligible. However, keep an eye on the latency times to your pool (I'm assuming you will use one).
High latency times will increase the number of stale blocks which are just wasted effort. Perhaps set up a quick and dirty script to watch ping times.

why mine with a phone though?

Mining with a phone or router is not the same as using a phone or router to connect some ASIC boxes.

If it's a sizable operation where a little downtime is costly, it can be worth setting up a cheap prepaid LTE hotspot as a backup. Probably the best way is to plug a LTE stick into a Raspberry Pi or similar, then configure it as the backup router. Set up the switches in a chain with the routers on opposite ends (ring/mesh if they support STP), thus minimizing the number of single failure points.

Probably the most easiest to have 4G LTE ethernet modem as it doesnt need complicated USB set up with routers and is 100% compatible with all router with dual wan support.

And then that router becomes a single failure point. Having two routers in failover configuration connected to opposite ends of the network is more reliable.

Many thanks for helping the new miners rip to build up the bitcoin income.

I can confirm that even junky Virgin Mobile 3G cell connection was enough bandwidth to support a small-to-mid sized farm and would be plenty for a backup - but I don't think they offer their "unlimited" 3G plan any more, just LTE (which in theory should work a lot better).

If you're not online, you are not mining.

obviously it can't mine, here everythign function with internet if you have no connection there is no mining and no bitcoin

but the good thing is that you can have your usb stick and connect just fine with it when connection go down from ISP

Thanks for this information.
Im planning to build a mining rig but not to mine a Bitcoin I want to mine some popular altcoin this day.

Hi guys!!! I have Two S9 and I would like to know how much bandwidth does an Antminer take per month? thank you I hope you can help me

I don't have a number for you, but a miner (S7, S9 etc.) uses very little bandwidth to UL/DL data from a pool. If you were to use a proxy it would take even less. But with only two miners, a proxy isn't really needed.
Good luck.
