Anyone use a UK SIM for tethering in EU?

The usual answer to this is "Buy a local SIM" so if we put that on the back burner for a moment...

All the UK SIM-only deals I can find, even unlimited data, always have a fairly low limit set for data/tethering while roaming in the EU. After a couple of Zoom calls abroad they are struggling, and I need to be tethered to a PC for a couple of weeks. Anyone know of a network that allows the full data allowance to be used while abroad?

30 gb?

Lebara review: Roaming

Where many other networks have introduced daily charges for EU roaming, Lebara still allows you to use all your plan allowances in the EU at no extra charge. The only exception is data on an unlimited plan, which is capped at 30GB/mth

Thanks, since I last looked into this a new player has entered the market:

Roaming - Popit (popitmobile.co.uk)

100Gb for £25 for the month sounds as close as I'm going to get to unlimited. Website is a bit low-key low-tech but the best so far.

With my Three contract, data roaming is (currently) included in the deal, but tethering is NOT

Your subject is somewhat misleading - which do you mean?

I mean using my SIM/phone to connect to my PC so I can get decent PC internet while in EU.

I have 2 methods to connect - 1) via USB cable to phone in hotspot mode & 2) a Wifi 4G box that I can put my SIM card in.

Both are "tethering" as opposed to just using internet on the phone.
