I have not even seen a noticeable difference in my data usage since I got my rig running.
Only the first day when I created a Windows 10 bootable install flash disk. lol

How much data is transfered/retrieved when you mine for coins?

do you mean internet data? it's not much, the mining activity consume very low amount of internet, but the real problem is when you saturate a router maximum amount of data with many rig connected, it's better to buy a powerful router, to not get many lost shares when you use many rig with one router, i had this issue before, because i connected 4 rig to one old router, and my miner was disconnecting all the time, internet was working fine though
Ok. thank you.
I'm trying to setup a very lame rig on our corp WiFi and I don't want the rig to get much attention.
Bad idea. It's not the amount of data but the type of traffic and the destination address that will red flag you. If you value your job I would strongly advise against this.
I worked for corporate IT for many years, specifically network engineering. If you work at a place that requires regular computer usage for more than 60 days they will know more about you than your wife...

I agree the amount of data used when mining is trivial to anyone with a broadband connection of at least 20mbps.
I think most people would never encounter router saturation though as most routers designed for the home market are quite capable of handing the traffic even from 50 rigs. You would be more likely to run out of electrical capacity long before your router couldn't keep up, assuming you are using hardwired connections and not using a lot of data somewhere else, like streaming or something. You must have had a very old router or something else was going on with it for only 4 rigs to cause any issues.
If I remember correctly, each rig consumes about 10 kbits/s, not really much, and I doubt it will get noticed by anyone.
Not even if it runs 24/7?
