Finally installing Zeus. Will neutrino sync in the middle of the mountain with a 3G connection? Or is it better to do initial sync on a fast connection first in a city and then use it on 3G later? Or doesn't matter?
If you click on that hourglass icon, you could test your neutrino peers.
If the results are higher than 150-200ms ping then you will have trouble syncing.
Is enough to have one that under those values or better 30-50-70ms and you will sync just fine.
If none of those default neutrino peers will not give you good ping, it means you are too far away from their location and/or you are using a VPN that is filtering those IPs or the port.
Try other ones until you find a closest one. Or connect to your own Bitcoin node, activating neutrino on it (is just a line in bitcoin.conf) if is closer to your location.
Here is a list to find more neutrino peers:

Thanks. Sorry I didn't reply right away and then I forgot. It got synced in about 5 minutes without any problem. The ping is 390ms. But it works :)
I like this. It seems there are advanced settings everywhere for the advanced user but also works well with default settings for new users and the LSP seems like a great thing.

390ms is quite a lot, you will have problems syncing.
Find better peers from that list I sent you.
Put like 4-5 of them to have redundant peers, in case some of them goes busted.

I would do a fast connection first time
