I had for years. First it was with sprint, now verizon. I get 30 Gigs of high speed per month. I also have a satellite connection (hughesnet) which is less expensive and allows me to download big files like installing stuff on my computer. What I use for the 4G is an actual 4G modem , MOFI4500 made by MOFI. I do not use the crappy little usb modems or point of access that they sell. I got a package with came with one of these. I simply removed the sim card that came with it and installed it in my MOFI unit. This is a 4G modem which can also be configured as a router so I can service all my devices.
I should add that if you only have one computer to service, you do not need to setup a router. Just plug the output of that 4G modem via a cat5 cable directly into your computer (or connect to it via wireless if your computer has a wireless card)
