Hi. It's a bid confusing right now with Three UK. They used to have these restrictions on tethering/mobile hotspot use on their Smartphone Plans. They simply banned and blocked tethering or capped volumes. This has been lifted in the UK by the intervention of the local regulator Ofcom: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/10/three-uk-quietly-removes-tethering-caps-from-4g-mobile-plans.html

This lift of restrictions only applies to the UK, not for roaming abroad. Here still tethering is not allowed and blocked at all in Go Roam Around the World destinations, unless you purchase a Data Passport. In contrast to that, Mobile Broadband plans are proven to be working outside the UK on mobile hotspot devices (may by not on iPhones, as some of them need special tethering profiles.

Also have in mind, that so far only 4 countries have LTE roaming on Three UK: that's Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria on own 3 networks. In Italy or France for instance you will get very low speeds on 3G and in Germany a very low coverage below 50% because of not having LTE.
