Using Home Assistant with a cellular / mobile USB modem - Anybody doing it?

I just added a line to my cellular plan and used an old cell phone with USB tethering enabled. I only use it for data backup, but in reality it could be used fully for HA communications. I’m not tracking the data rate, but when I was testing it out normal communications data rate was pretty low. Only time I’d be worry is when the OS is being updated, as that could be a large update.
