As long as you have a phone signal, can you obtain a 4G modem and an unlimited data plan? Our service has a limit of 750GB, which is much more manageable than I realized. I haven’t played any games recently, and we don’t really stream heavily. It’s a local cable provider, but their service isn’t great and can be costly for the package they offer. The next option is an uncapped plan priced at $65 with no bundled features.

Sure, you can find genuine 4G/LTE hotspots from most mobile carriers in the United States. The value of these services depends on local pricing.

Most providers I've noticed seem a bit unreliable regarding "Unlimited" plans. T Mobile offers home internet via LTE that's labeled as unlimited, but they heavily throttle data usage if you exceed limits. Their service costs around $50 for 50 Mbps. We're paying about $86 a month for 200/10 Mbps with a 1TB cap. If it's $65 for an uncapped plan, I think that's reasonable. An uncapped plan from another provider would require an extra $30 per month on top of the base price to qualify for unlimited data.

I understand I come across as grumpy. This local provider uses the same line as Spectrum, but we’re charged $56 for 25 gigabytes and have a 750GB limit, while they offer a more affordable option.

I’m just opting for the uncapped plan since most wireless companies start charging extra after about 25 to 50 gigabits per month. Cellular systems weren’t built for high data usage and many towers are already overbooked. As I mentioned, my rate is $86 per megabyte for a 200/10 plan with a 1 terabyte limit. To get unlimited service I’d need an additional $30 per megabyte on top, bringing the total to $116 per megabyte. If you really need 4G internet, consider checking T Mobile’s coverage in your area. They claim solid speeds for home internet but don’t offer it everywhere yet—around 50 Mbps for $50 per month. They say there’s no cap, though they still throttle performance. There are hints that customers using home internet might always get lower priority. I’m not sure if T Mobile limits their home service to only 480p video streams, which could be a concern.
