I have used NT over tethered 4G from my phone in the past. it was fine except my ping time on Zen-Fire was up around ~250ms. I was only watching level1 and level2 data for one instrument. Not sure I would trust it enough to place trades, and certainly would not scalp on that kind of connection. it never dropped my connection, but the verizon 4g coverage here is pretty solid

that is probably worst case scenario. I've seen 4G pings in the 60-70 neighborhood for other stuff not too long ago, so its possible it is a lot better for you

you could open Pingtest.net - The Global Broadband Quality Test on your phone and get a decent idea real quick.

If you use zenfire, you could try pinging these IPs:
199.30.196.164 (market data)
199.30.196.172 (order)
199.30.196.169
