A 4G cell phone signal used either through a phone's hotspot or a device such as a MiFi can provide excellent video, but you will have to expect data usage to be at least 1GB per 2 hours of viewing.
Data usage depends on what
video streaming speed you're using.
Netflix
minimum required speed is 0.5 Mbit/sec (or 215 MB/hour).
Netflix
recommended speed is 1.5 Mbit/sec (or 545 MB/hour).
However, Netflix can go up to 12 Mbit/sec (or
5 GB/hour) for 3D movies.
Also, the data rate is dynamic -- it will adjust as your connection speed varies -- so you could be streaming a lot more than 1 GB/hour if you're on a 4G network.
