There is none, unless you're in the US.
In the UK, LTE == 4G.

Define "real".
Many 4G plans give you far more data than similarly priced 3G plans.
That's like giving someone a ferrari and then saying "Oh by the way the petrol tank is twice as big as your old car".

The average user uses 600MB on 3G and 1.2GB on 4G. So yes, he's technically heavy.
However I'm also a very heavy user and use less than 1GB (speedtests aside). Heavy use in terms of how much you use your phone is completely different to heavy use in terms of data allowance.

Yes good break on the discount, but otherwise that's quite hefty, |
Not really.
The 10GB plan is £32.99 with a handset depending what handset you get. That's the full, undiscounted price for new customers, including unlimited calls while abroad in many countries.

especially as I'm currently on a £11/mth sim only 12 mth contract 2g/3g. I'll revisit the 4G stuff when this contract expires, I prefer to buy the phone outright & go sim only, rather than having to be locked into a 2 yr contract.

Well if you want to go cheap Tesco Mobile do 4G for £10 a month on a 1-month contract.
Remember most of EE's 4G contracts come with unlimited call and text allowance as well, the 4GB DS ones and above also include unlimited calls and texts while abroad. Comparing it to similar unlimited minutes 3G tariffs from the main networks and EE 4G often ends up cheaper.
3 also do not charge extra for 4G so you can get unlimited 4G data once it's available for £12.90. O2 do SIM only 4G starting at £21.

Why waste money on unlimted when barely use enough to go over the second lowest tariff on 4G?
Sounds like you're one of the overpaying majority who spend far more than they need to just to avoid ever paying a small fee for going over your allowance - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12996175
