I cannot think of any prepaid plans in the U.S. that meet all of your requirements, though I am far from being familiar with all of them. Here is what I (think I) "know", though I would love to be set straight on anything I got wrong or missed: Generally 3G is available wherever LTE is.

Addituinal notes: When setting up AT prepaid, at one point you need to insert the SIM into your handset in order to receive a confirmation code (your login password). I know this process works while the handset is in Canada. Even though service is not yet activated on this SIM, the SIM can still
