Can i mine cryptocurrencies with a low internet connection?

[eslam]

I am from Egypt and the internet is really bad here...

I have 2 mb/s internet connection and i am willing to start mining soon with ASIC

Will the 2 mb/s be enough?

do i even need high speed internet for mining?

I think it uses aliitle bit based on the info I read over here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484341.0

Good luck

Yes you can mine bitcoin or altcoins with a low internet connection.You need only a stable connection not a high speed connection.

You can mine but you need the internet to be stable so that you can mine
It is depends on the stability of connection not the speed of the internet.

2 megabytes/second? Here in Cavemanstralia, we talk in kilobytes/second. (And it's mineable here, just very expensive.) 2mb/s should be enough to mine crypto, as long as the connection is stable.

On Stratum with variable difficulty, you should need ~1kbps (0.125 KB/sec).  It doesn't matter how fast you are, which is why the new protocols were implemented.  1 GH/s, 1 TH/s, 1 PH/s, with proper server implementation it should all use the same bandwidth per connection.

I think the guy means megabits/sec, which would total to 250 kilobytes a second. Here in Australia using ADSL 2+ I get about 3 megabytes per second ^_^

I'm getting Fibre Optic late next year

Even with a connection as low as  you have i think you should be able to mine no bother,  others have said the most important thing is stability,  you don't want your connection dropping all the time or else when you hit a block it might not confirm because someone else might hit it when you lose connection.

This problem of low internet connection is a problem found in many countries, but fortunately it does not bother you mine. Of course, your connection should be stable. To mine you do not need speed. Be aware of the cost of energy.

connection stability is the most important; currently i'm using a 512 kbps wimax for my GPU rigs.
as long as the connection doesn't drop, the ping time is stable & is relatively ok it should be fine.

You can have the internet speed 20mbps but unless you have a stability internet connection then it is useless. I think that you can mine with your actual internet speed, but just be sure that you do not have lag when connecting to websites or while mining because once the connection is lost then you will lose what you mine for a small period of time.
