I'm not sure I'd be able to deal with LTE at home, since I play online games quite a bit, but I'm very impressed with it for work. I often drive out to a lake or river and work from a hammock, tethered to my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.
It's incredible to me that I get 50Mbps in a hammock, when it seems like only a few years ago I was paying $80 / month for 128Kbps ISDN only a few miles away.
OK, maybe that was twenty years ago. Maybe I'm just getting old :)
