Not sure about 4G, since carriers use that term very loosely. But AT&T says that if you have an unlimited plan, they won't throttle you on LTE until you hit 5GB. Everything else is 3GB.
This is correct. The 3GB cap applies to 4G HSPA+, while the 5GB cap applies to 4G LTE. I imagine that the cap is set by your plan, not the actual towers you connect to through the month, so an iPhone 5 LTE plan would have the larger cap.

All right so I could turn off LTE on my iPhone 5 on AT&T then use 4G and a fresh 3 GB?

SO glad i have unlimited with Verizon, no cap and no worrying.
No, as the LTE toggle on your iPhone has no impact on the data plan you have in AT&T's system.
More like no cap, no worrying, and no more phone subsidy.
so what. i can afford it.
The data cap is based on what plan you have. If you have an LTE data plan as indicated on your account and bill:

then you have a 5GB data cap before throttling. Otherwise you have a 3GB data cap before throttling.
