The author does not recommend the new "Guangdian" SIM card for several reasons: 1. It is not suitable for nationwide travel, especially in regions like Xinjiang and Tibet, where service is limited and restoring data can be difficult. 2. Although the card offers a large data allowance (192GB/month), the actual speeds in rural areas are often comparable to 3G, with only urban centers like Taiyuan and Xi'an providing true 5G speeds. 3. There are better options available, such as campus cards and direct cards from major telecom operators, which offer substantial data at reasonable prices. The author warns against cheap plans that may show inflated data usage, leading to confusion about actual consumption.

First, I do not recommend the new forces - Broadcasting and Television card. I often travel across the country, especially in Xinjiang and Tibet. Here are my thoughts:

1. Do not buy a data card.
  Mainly because I travel nationwide, some areas like Xinjiang, Tibet, and Yunnan cannot use it, and restoring data can be quite troublesome.
1. Broadcasting and Television card - large data, mine is 192G per month.
  Why? In the suburbs of Lhasa and Urumqi, my phone shows 5G but seems to have 3G speeds, and it can't even reach 4G. The city center is fine, and the internet speed in Taiyuan and Xi'an is acceptable, reaching 5G speeds.
  In more remote areas, the internet speed is even worse.
1. There are now many promotional policies that offer large data, such as telecom campus cards and direct data cards from the three major operators. These are still quite good.
  Do not be tempted by cheap options; some data is misleading. It shows you used 100G, but in reality, you only used 60G. This is still on the better side; some are even more exaggerated.
