Internet providers and speed needed
A Broadband or fiber distribution is the only kind of ISP I recommend, not only for mining but for everyday use as well. The cost will vary from company to company and state to state (US). If you live in a rural area then you’re sick with whatever provider is available. Currently Xfinity has a program called “Internet Essentials” which provides broadband speeds of 50mbps down for $10 a month if you qualify. I don’t know your situation but you can certainly look into it
yeah, this is super vague and besides ISP’s are highly dependent on geographical location.
dont know your specific area, but as long as you have more than 10mbs and less than 100 ping to the local server you should be fine with most mining. (the 10mbs is assuming your also using it for other things as well and gives you a nice buffer)
