Thank you all who answered .. very usefull!
512k DSL should be fine, if you not hitting it with online gaming and downloads all the time. The average bandwidth usage is VERY low.
With a suitable share difficulty, which most pools will set automatically after detecting your hashrate, your bandwidth usage should be VERY low.

I know too little about the in depth details of how stratum works to know whether up and downstream should be equal or not. I just report the numbers that BFGMiner is showing for almost 3 months now.
The point still is that any state of the art DSL connection is more than sufficient to run a miner without having to upgrade. Heck you could even use ISDN or 56k modems for small time miners.

48 bytes/s? Uh, maybe if you use something that requires really high difficulty to count as a share.. But incoming data should still be just as high..
Anyway, Cudaminer bursted up to around 8kb/s upstream, w/ an average of around 1kb/s, probably. I was using relatively low share difficulty, averaged maybe one every 3 seconds.

For a reference: I have 2 Antminer U2s mining at 4 GH/s combined and they use 48 B/s up and 28 B/s down.
Bandwidth usage is really really small thanks to the stratum protocol.

Yep. Judging by Winbox application (a tool for control and configure MikroTik routers), it's about very few kbps...
Very little. And I mean very very little, so little you shouldn't be worried about it.
Hello,
Does anyone know how much bandwith a miner uses when mining into a pool?
thank you
