USMobile has so many options and is so confusing that I have put together this page that summarizes the options, on 14Feb2025.
I'm concerned with the lower-use plans, so you should consult https://usmobile.com/plans for official info and other plans.

What is QCI?
QCI means Quality of Service Class Identifier. It determines how different types of data are treated on the network expecially during times of congestion.
- QCI 7: Highest priority. Minimal latency and high reliability.
- QCI 8: Medium-high priority.
- QCI 9: Standard priority. Slower speeds during peak times as compared to QCI 7 and QCI 8.
