Your question does make sense, I get where you're coming from. Yes it is a type of connection, but because of LTE being a faster connection you can use up data at a faster rate.

But it won't use more simply because its faster. It will use the same amount it needs to use.


If an app needs 200MB it will use 200MB regardless of how fast it uses them.


If a video is 500MB it will still be 500MB over LTE.


There's is no correlation between speed and data usage.


You may inclined to do more things if you can do them faster and as such use more data because of it. but the connection itself does not use more or less data than any other connection.


Also this is a 3 year old question. I would think the OP has moved on by now.
