Also getting POTS line in your pop sometimes get tricky. 2G/3G modems
with cheap plans cost like 10$/month (dunno about US though), thats

They don't generally have public IPs (that can be arranged). verizon 4G
cards have ipv6 now but cradlepoint routers for example don't support that.

Sure, I forgetting this, on 2G/3G modems this just cost additional
4$/month. Otherwise reverse tunnel as you saying. One of 4G operators
here is just giving away internet free for now but only 64Kbits, you
only need modem. But you know coverage outside city not that great
(almost non-existent)


I had reverse tunnel from one of our DC's over a 3/4g usb dongle that
had a measured availability of less than 50% which oddly I didn't
consider acceptable.

How is that possible?

Dial up with PPP and then cross the ethernet? Drop off a cellular
modem with IP service instead of a dialup modem? Perhaps you haven't
noticed but IP over circuit-switched voice lines is giving way to
voice over IP packet switched systems. That POTS line the dialup modem
needs doesn't have a lot of future left.
