I actually like Three but it was impossible to use data at the rush hour in central London. I don't know what's the current situation but that was my main frustration with Three. Also, I'm disappointed that they ended Roam like home despite having universal(?) roaming before EU made all the carriers do it.

They renamed it to "Go Roam" and if you've been with them since before October 2021 it's still free in 71 countries (otherwise it's pretty steep): https://www.three.co.uk/go-roam

"If you’re on Pay As You Go, or your Pay Monthly plan started before 1 October 2021, these charges won’t apply."

(I'm a happy Three customer since 2011, can't recall significant signal woes in London while I lived there and have reliable, fast 5G out in the sticks now)

Eventually your time will come and they will remove it.

Ugh, I had no idea about that. Thanks for telling me - doesn't seem like I've received any such message from Three themselves. I'll find out for sure in a couple of days time since as luck would have it I went abroad at the start of this month for the first time since early 2020, and used data without worrying while I was there.
I havent recieved it yet (I am out of contract > 2 years now) - others who were out of contract got it a few months ago. It appears totally random.

EE have a roaming add-on that may for a cost reproduce the facility, but that was my limited research on the topic, usual disclaimer.
