    When WiMAX was still around, my friend was able to play Left 4 Dead over his tethered mobile phone. That I would consider broadband, as you have both the low latency and reasonable bandwidth demonstrated.

    I've used my LTE device tethered to my laptop for general internet needs, but typically you can tell you are on a mobile connection. So I wouldn't qualify it as a broadband replacement, even with an unlimited plan. Perhaps someone who actually uses it for their primary internet needs has a different opinion.
