I wonder If I buy 4G modem for mobile internet, put there sim card, and share that internet via Wi-Fi to other devises, will Facebook, Youtube and others flag my activities or i'll pass for unique users that happen to share same mobile provider in my block?
 
Of course 4G is safe. There are a lot of whole other factors than just IP addresses for websites to block or do a captcha verification. Sure it happens from time to time, but very unlikely.
You can get a sim router and use it, but you won’t have fast speed (depending what you consider fast).

I'm thinking about buying 4G modem for Wi-FI router, then pay for internet every month and use that internet on few Android mobile phones. 1 account = 1 phone, but they all going to share same 4G internet via wi-fi.
Do I understand it right that FB, YT and others would be able to see my street/building address?
 
Yes it work. With 2GB 3G, I've got 1GB 4G :-D

You have to take into account also the device you use.

If you use the mobile app (not the browser), even if you use different IPs, the servers could still identify your requests as originating from the same device.

Not just the mobile provider will be the same for all devices connected to the hotspot, but what's more important, the ip address too. The devices might be different, but those accounts will be linked by their ip from the get go, so you need to pay extra caution, what you do with them. A family can share the same wifi network, so it's not an issue by default, if accounts use the same ip, but everyday people don't pull blackhat stunts with their accounts. Obviously you can change the ip, because 4G uses dynamic ip, while this ip will be new, it will be the same again for all devices.

it's not a big problem to buy used mobile phone that supports wi-fi, they cost less than 25$
the only problem with that is that i have using mobile phones and probably will hate it a lot, i should probably install facebook on my phone to see how painful it could get :(

my plan was to restart router before turning on next phone. that should do the trick. It's not like im going to watch youtube or serf fb 5h/day it should not be a problem.
Main concern is that they always going to have same geo-location.
 
lots of people use and it works without any problem but especially if you are connecting to the Internet, If your Wi-Fi connection to the Internet is limited to a slower broadband connection like DSL where the bandwidth is in the single digit Mbps, then it is possible that your 4G (or even 3G/UMTS/HSPA) device can be faster
 
4g is great man, esp if your ISP is using dynamic IP instead of static.

Depending on the social media platform, they check your device connection. Information such as whether you are on WI-FI or Mobile data is shared. If you connect to a WIFI, your device will most likely send information that specifies that is using WI-FI along with the IP address which most likely will be the same as other devices connected to your modem that uses 4G data. That in most cases in not a problem, because other people could have the same IP assigned too due to the nature of mobile data. In terms of street address, no it won't show your street. It could even show a different city because 1) you don't own the IP that is assigned to you 2) that IP is not static and 3) your ISP base can be in different location.
 
Better to use separate sim cards with mobile data for each phone, with deactivated geolocation. Then it will be 100% safe. But your option is good too for less than 5-7 phones

They will not see your geolocation (disable gps on the phones tho). If you restart the modem every time for a new phone, then you're safe
