End of year deal! For A Limited Time Get This Plan For $15/month. Choose your own prepay option, 3, 6, or 12 months!
The biggest difference between a $15 plan and a $90 plan isn’t the coverage—it’s priority. In 2026, T-Mobile uses three main priority levels (QCI) to manage network traffic:
Premium Priority (QCI 6): Reserved for T-Mobile’s own top-tier postpaid plans and Google Fi Wireless. If you are at a crowded stadium or a busy airport, your data stays fast.
Standard Priority (QCI 7): Used by Metro by T-Mobile, Mint Mobile, and US Mobile. This is perfect for 95% of users but may see slight slowdowns in extreme congestion.
Lower Priority (QCI 9): Typically applied after you hit your high-speed data cap for the month.
Pro Tip: If you live in a major city like NYC or LA, choosing a plan with Priority Data (like Google Fi) might be worth the premium price to avoid “buffering” during rush hour.
