How much traffic/ Internetspeed for BTC mining?

[AngryMan]

Hey there,
I'm planning to mine with a router and a UMTS Stick for the internet connection.
The stick will have 1GB with LTE. After that it will go around 64 kbit.
I'm planning to mine with slush pool and an antminer S5.

Is that enough bandwidth? Or do I need more?

Thanks in advance.

64 kbit should be barely enough,although there is a question of the line stability i.e. latency
also if you are planning to use high speed ASICS like s5-s7-s9 you could encounter major difficulties
all in all-you would have to try your equipment to see ,but 64kbit line doesn't sound like the one I would use myself to mine

Really the only issues you'd face would pop up when you add more miners into the network. One or two is fine on 64kb but I wouldn't push it. Stratum doesn't use much and it should be just fine. Assuming 2 megabits per hour, two should be the theoretical maximum.

you need at least 2 megabits

This is flat out wrong. From S7 testing the average I see on my miners is about 30-50mb used over a 24 hour rolling period.

I ran several machines for a while on a 500 kbps (on a GOOD night, more commonly 200-300) 3g Cell connect for years.

 10-20kbps per machine should handle the load reasonably well for most cryptocoin mining.

Yes you have enough bandwidth. If you want to reduce bandwidth you can also increase share difficulty on your pool, slush allows u to do this. This higher your share difficulty the less often your miner will request shares. I have an S9 and was able to get the total bandwidth down to 4 MB/day by maxing my share difficulty on slush. This is about 0.4 kb/s.
