LTE to bridge a terrestrial service circuit gap

A little background, I have a few plant locations that are currently serviced by a regional telco we are having trouble with and I'll leave it at that. We are in the process of ordering new WAN circuits and direct fiber to these locations to replace the current ones, but are worried that they may pull the plug on us unexpectedly. I have been tasked with coming up with a contingency plan using LTE internet service and existing VPN infrastructure in the event they pull the plug on use before new circuits are in.

Our requirements are 10-20 Mb of bandwidth, we would be doing VoIP over it but could go to the local GW if necessary. Programs used are general MS Office applications and general internet.

I am wondering if anyone here has used LTE to bridge a gap for a WAN circuits and how that worked out. What service did you use, ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile?
