Data usage if using cellular hotspot?

For users who use cellular hotspots for transactions: which carriers have you found to be most reliable? Approximately how much data ( Mb or Gb) is used per day on average?

the carrier won't matter.  as long as you have coverage in your area.  as for data, it is basically 0 or a rounding error.  so 1,000 transactions would be about 10 MB.  for reference a 1080p youtube stream is about 50MB for 60 seconds.
