I live in a semi-rural area and with no cable/fiber/dsl options available.

In my experience, most home internet offerings from the big mobile carriers will throttle you fairly quickly if your usage goes to a few hundred GB (easy to do with streaming, os updates, etc). They may not have a limit, but once you're throttled it is basically unusable.

Seems reasonable compared to having no internet at all, especially compared to satellite internet service like DirecWay/HughesNet/Echo Star.
