Mining doesn't need a highspeed internet bandwidth, even with a 2MBPS speed would definitely enough for mining purpose, what matters most is the reliability and continuous connectivity of your internet, the downside of the capped 2GB plan is that you could possibly Consumed this so easily for other purposes when shared, watching HD videos on youtube and Facebook. better go with unlimited plans. ;)

I have noticed that ms to the pool you are using is effecting the reported hashrate ALOT. Are you suggesting mobile internet? like 3g 4g etc? I would not recomend it. You also need to find yourself a pool with low MS, preferably around 10-20ms. For me with fiber 1000/1000 thats not hard in western europe. But for you in India i dont know if its possible, you have to test it out.

For the first time minier, I would say Yes,that's fine, given the availability of your connections, I guess you have no choice, however If there would be a chance that you could find a broadband connection then better. 

The above statement refers to Latency of the pool, you have to look for a pool nearest on your location, if you're unsure you can just try them out and observe which pools have the least latency or MS.

 Even junk Virgin Mobile USA 3G cell was fast enough and low enough latency to handle a mining farm.

 SAT service on the other hand, I was seeing a noticeable hit (but STILL only about 1%) to stale shares from latency - but that was usually around 700 ms lag.

 1GB/sec service is SEVERE OVERKILL unless you are running literally thousands of miners.

 2GB plan should be plenty unless you have a HUGE farm.
