I've been using 4G as our main source of internet at home for about 3/4 months now and this has been largely trouble free and a nice improvement over the poor rural internet we had before.
One thing I have noticed since the beginning was as soon as you start downloading and using the majority of the available bandwidth the latency shoots up (400ms-to-seconds). This poor ping makes gaming while anyone else is downloading near enough impossible and slows down any pages loading while browsing. This doesn't occur when less bandwidth is used, so Netflix and YouTube (even multiple 1080p streams) does not have this effect. It's been an inconvenience since switching to 4G but better than the alternative, but I was wondering if this is typical of 4G broadband?
If it helps I am using the following setup:
Voxi unlimited sim
TP-Link MR600 using the internal antenna
Thanks folks!
