Because the providers try to balance cell towers they may shift you to another tower which can cause a second or two of outage. Also if they get a lot of load on a particular tower the try to accommodate everyone which means everyone loses some data.

When I have watched people use mobile broadband to play games it works most the time maybe a couple times a hour you might get a lag spike. There is no way to predict this. If you have to have no lag spikes ever it is not a good platform to choose. The primary purpose is to provide internet access to people who are mobile so it is trade off between stability and mobility.

Pretty much I would not choose mobile broadband for a home internet connection if you have any other choice.

It will work ok but you will at times get a lag spike. This assume you are in a strong coverage area if your are in a poor coverage area it will be almost unusable.

LTE tends to have the lowest latency and the highest speeds of any mobile broadband. The speed is not all that important to a game but the latency is. It is still a lot higher than land connection and it does tend to jump around a bit which games do not like.

You must be very very sure you are in a area with good LTE coverage. You do not want it to switch to HSPA or older technology. There is still enough bandwidth to play games but the latency is excessively high.

The key reason I suspect very few people play games on LTE dongle is almost all ISP charge a huge amount of money for the data. Almost all have eliminated their unlimited plans when you use a computer and many are limiting them when you use high powered tablet and smart phones.
Games because they run for so long and use data constantly can eat any data plan. So be sure you can actually afford the costs before you get too far along.
