I have 5 running on normal xfinity internet, they don't use much bandwidth. Power needed is a different thing.

The bandwidth you need is minimal because of stratum and an appropriate pool difficulty setting. Network latency can affect the percentage of stales you get, but that's about it.

The king of network speed.
Go with Fiber to Home for the best internet speeds.

In seriousness, Dialup would be sufficient.
Each share is only bytes worth of data.
Networks are measured in bits per second 56kilobits per second is 7000 bytes per second.
Like another poster said, if you have excessive latency it may increase your stales.

as was said bandwidth wise the do not need much. Almost nothing. I have two Antminer U2s running (which i guess you are talking about since 10 of the bigger S1s would be quite expensive for a beginner).

They use less than 1kB/s in either direction on BTCGUild. For some reason on  triplemining the have 5 kB/s down, but that isn't much either.
