My only option for internet where I live is 4G LTE. I currently have a Sprint based 4G plan but he tower is off a ways and it is not 100% reliable. I am looking at a second data plan from AT&T since their tower is only about 4 miles away. It only allows for 5gb per month.

Would 5gb per month be enough for data on just one instrument at a time? I would unplug the modem when not trading so all it would have to do is the data feed while I am trading (4 to 5 hours a day max).

( I am trading the 6E)

Yes. I monitor a couple dozen symbols real time, and average 10kb/sec which over 8 hours is about 280 megabytes.
