<p>How much bandwidth consumption can I expect per 13 Thash/s rig (Pooled). I'm Buying an s9 antminer, and i live in lebanon ( bad connection ).what do u guys advise me to do?
Does the internet speed affect ? What the speed required in order to mine correclty? How much data does it use monthly ?
Note: Assuming that i ll mine 24/7 
Thank you so much!</p>
