I used to run my farm on a 3G Cell connection (with VERY poor throughput) for 2-3 years ballpark, then on a Exede Sat connection for 2 years.

I don't think I ever used 1 GB / month just for the mining - my best guess was a few hundred meg/MONTH at most for up to about 20 mining rigs (mix of GPU-based and ASIC based, mix of several coins, over that timeframe).

What was the latency like on those connections? I'm not sure how important having a low ping would be, because you want to make sure your block isn't going to get orphaned.

Bitcoin mining don't generate almost any traffic at all. Only to send found block/receive current block.
Serving as full node bitcoin eats some traffic, but not some huge amounts

. You could without any problems run it in home in any developed country.

So this must be the big reason why I have never heard anyone posting a big problem on internet connection while doing the mining because it is not a big factor as long as there is a connection. I am wondering this same thing for a long time because I have seen people complaining on the cost of the electricity and there are many mines located in remote areas which I fear may have some poor internet connectivity. At least, I now have a nice clarification.

Traffic should be low. Because you are only sending something when submitting a share and shares are not very big.

If you are connected to a stratum pool the network usage is minimum and as long as you have a good ping you won't face network problems.
This consideration is valid for you but now always for the pool (that can be flooded, DDOSed with requestes), so here it comes the importance to have more than 1 pool for a failover setup.
