Yes, it works when roaming onto 2G (Orange and for older customers
O2); speeds are GPRS speeds (about 56kbps).

Internet (using phone browser) or broadband (using laptop)?

I can get service on 2G on internet but not broadband.

I can get it on both. And from Three's website -- it states:

"What if I need to use Mobile Broadband outside the Turbo coverage?

=2E..
Please note: Although you can use Mobile Broadband in the UK when you
roam onto 2G, the speeds are much slower."
