Help Verizon Galaxy S3 prepaid providers

I used to have Verizon but left,kids wanted smartphones & we only had unlimited so we got them Verizon phones & did the BYOP with Straight Talk & they worked great. Both of theirs were CDMA using Verizon towers & got 3G, so we took our phones over, mine was a Commando 4g & hers was a Droid X2 & they worked getting 3g. I started having issues with my Commando & her Droid X2 did also, so I sold my Commando & got us both Verizon Galaxy S3's since ST said they would work fine,on their website compatibility & phone support, which both were wrong. I finally got someone there that told me that Verizon 4g phones were not compatible & was why we can't get data,said even if flashed it will not work. We want data back since that is the whole reason for having a smartphone,otherwise it is just a stupidphone. Have been looking at other providers but none support Verizon LTE phones, some sites say our S3's will work but don't want to go through the hassle of switching& end up like I am at ST with no data(well I get .08mbps but I call that useless). Was seeing what others are using with a Verizon Galaxy S3, I don't have to have 4g, would be nice but will be happy if I could get 3g. What are my options to use my phones? ST says to get rid of them & get AT&T versions, would like to use Verizon towers as we get better coverage, T-Mobile & Sprint are out of the question here,Verizon is best,US Cellular next, then AT&T last as far as coverage.
 
ST now sells s3 for their service. But it may only be 3g phone. I've been trying to find out if this phone is also for 4g. Talked to ST and verizon beggining of July, was told 4g would be released to prepaids 17 July 14, by verizon rep. Because of wanting to track and gather data on everyone, things are getting more difficult to make things work for us. Rooting is harder etc. Hope this helps somehow.
