It sounds like perhaps MTU or clamp MSS might need adjusting.  I can
envision a situation where the router sends out packets that are just
slightly larger than what the cell tower will route, causing the tower
to split them.  It would double the number of packets and if the ISP is
counting packets instead of bytes, then it would easily explain a factor
of 2 increase.
