Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem. I think GW2 uses about 60Kb/second.
That’s roughly about 23 hours of play time. So yeah, you’ll be a bit limited, but it will work.

Patches would be the only problem but playing, the bandwidth needed is quite low with boss events and WvW zerging being the highest. Hanging around the TP/Bank in DR for instance is only 3KB/s
Edit: Checked during Maw and got around 30KB/s.

Lag will depend on your carrier and your devices, but typically a mobile connection tends to have more lag than a landline wifi connection.
at 60 KB/s comes out to about 200MB per hour of game play for a worst case scenario
I’ve played through my 3G phone connection before, and while it had minor lag issues, it worked fine. You shouldn’t have any problems with 5G.

5G is still in research stage and will probably not be in commercial devices for another bunch of years. I’m guessing you meant 4G ;-)
From a quality standpoint, you should be just fine. You might get some minor hiccups if you’re in an area with weak signal, or in a busy area, or moving around, but other than that it should work fine. I’ve experienced cruddy old ADSL connections that perform far worse than 4G.

With 5 G he meant 5 GB
… I will be using an internet stick with a 5.000 MB cap per month ….

Ahh right, I see that now… I got it mixed up due to the post right before mine.
In any case, it’s not unlikely that the surfing stick he gets will be 4G (with a monthly limit of 5 GB…), so what I posted is still at least somewhat relevant. I was basically trying to say that under normal circumstances, there shouldn’t be any need to be too worried about connection quality.
