Depends how many hours a month you watch
We are using TESCO Mobile which has no roaming restrictions or limits
£30 a month for a 100gb of data on a rolling contract .
No VPN required as it’s a U.K. sim

www.simcorner.com 30 day 200gb data sim EU and UK. a bit expensive. or. RWG. EU only sim. 30 day 100GB £30.00. i've used RWG before in EU and worked pretty well. I'm sure most uk phone companies have fair usage caps. from 25gb to 35gb.

No restrictions on Tesco mobile , I’m on my second month in Spain and used up 96gb the first month mostly watching evening TV .
If you purchase a sim abroad you’ll probably get more data for you money but you will need a VPN to watch live U.K. tv

Have a search through other SIM in Europe threads and you’ll find that it’s easy peasy to buy an in-country data SIM for 100/200gb for €10-15 from dedicated phone shops - often located in the foyer of large supermarkets. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing in France and then Spain shortly, as per last year.

Did you use the data to watch tv if so were you restricted to just France and Spain programs . I have a mifi I want to put it into

Can’t give you a direct reply on that I’m afraid as I have NordVPN installed on the router and have never had issues receiving any U.K. TV stations or apps - nor anything elsewhere in the world but that’s largely down to KODI on the Firestick.

Use it with a Firestick and VPN for regular UK tv viewing.
