I'm curious about Helium mining and I've heard some people mention that it might use up my Internet bandwidth. Can you please clarify if Helium mining does indeed utilize my home or business Internet connection? If so, how does it work and what kind of impact can it have on my Internet speed and data usage? I'd like to understand the specifics before considering getting involved in Helium mining.

This connection allows them to communicate with Helium servers, a crucial step in the Proof-of-Coverage (PoC) process.

PoC is a validation mechanism that ensures miners are genuinely providing coverage and not just claiming rewards without contributing to the network.

By connecting to the Helium servers, miners can prove their coverage area and earn rewards for their contributions.
