And lag is no one's friend.

I just want to jump in here and ask, what if the person is where there are no other ways to access the internet? Personally, where I live, I have 3 options. Dial up, Satellite, and Sprint. I won't disagree that sometimes the lag is really bad, but most of the time I consistantly see 95-110ms which is slow, but still acceptable to play online games with.
Also, the MTU is not an issue for me, I tether to my computer and then bridge the phone and my NIC, then I use a crossover cable from my NIC to the WAN port on my router. Essentially it turns the computer into the modem. The only downside is that any other computers on the network will not be able to access files on the tethered computer.
