> LOLSOB, I really hope this poor person isn't in the US. Or the cellphone overage charges...

I am in the US, and have unlimited 4G LTE data w/AT&T prepaid for just $65/mo. There wouldn't be any risk of overage charges in this plan, at worst it would be throttled if the network is congested.

You could totally host a small site over such a link, it would just require something like a dirt cheap VPS for the public IP address. Behind the 4G connection your server would maintain tunnels with the VPS for serving the actual content via a reverse proxy or some other circuit. Wouldn't hurt to do some caching at the VPS as well, for static content.



> just $65/mo

"just"? That's very expensive.


That's very expensive for what's effectively cordless broadband internet including unlimited texting and calls?

Not compared to contemporary broadband prices in the US...

Also the price drops if you setup autopay.

What are you comparing to? This is Starlink territory.
