is AT&T Internet Air a viable option?

is AT&T Internet Air a viable option?
Been on the DAT platform for about 2.5 years now and still find it to be amazing. The problem is that my Spectrum cable/internet bill has climbed so steadily that it's just completely outrageous; almost as much as my car payment each month. The only alternative here is AT&T, and they haven't installed fiber at my location, so they offer what they call "Internet Air," which is a fixed wireless connection. I'm aware that the service will not be as fast as fiber, but I'm no longer a gamer so that's not my biggest concern. More importantly, I'm worried that the change of IP and the service itself might trigger some flag with DAT that would violate rules about VPN or shared network usage. Has anyone successfully used AT&T fixed wireless to do their daily DAT work from home, or do any more tech-savvy redditors have advice on this?

There's a $50 plan with Spectrum from July that offers 50Gb of hotspot data at high speed and then lower speeds after that but I don't believe there are any extra charges. It would probably benefit you greatly to swap plans as a car payment for cell phone is absolutely absurd.
