2G mobile internet to trade?

Hey guys,

I'm forced to trade on the road now and the main headache is internet connectivity and speed.

I want to use my mobile data plan to use on my laptop to run MT4 for charting and my brokers order management software. I want to know what your thoughts are if you would/can use 2G as a bare minimum. 3G and 4G is great but damn pricey if unlimited data use.

I'm not scalping but I still need to think about stability of transmitting my orders in a reasonably orderly fashion.

Thanks!

You'd want at least 3G, and latency will be your biggest enemy for mobile internet.

Expect ~200-300ms just between your mobile modem/phone and your provider's uplink, let alone to your broker.
