Depends a bit on your budget. The best of class 4G stuff that I have worked on is the Teradek Bond. It takes multiple 3G/4G modems and bonds them together for 1 video. That means you can have one carrier blip or hiccup without taking your livestream down. It also means that you can combine the best off each carrier to help ensure a smooth production.
This piece of mind comes at a price though. $2,500 for the Bond box alone and you'll need a Cube to plug it in to (you can't just plug it in to any device, it must come from a Cube). Nevertheless, with a system like this you should have a pretty stable connection to a streaming service provider like Livestream.
If that's not an option, the Verizon 4G network is very, very good. Hands down better than any I have played with elsewhere. Coverage and performance varies based on region though, so check your providers locally and test, test, test and then test some more!
Thanks,
